What is the function(s) of leaf flutter in most of the Populus genus, such as Populus deltoides, Populus nigra, Populus tremuloides etc.? (The fluttering is caused by strongly flattened petioles, which makes the leaves twist, bend, and flutter even in slightest breeze of wind).
Does anybody know the purpose(s) of the fluttering? Or is there any research on the function(s)?
Any insight on this would be very appreciated.
