摘要: Approximately 250 of the 850 known species bats (about 29%) are partially or wholly dependent upon plants as a source food. These involved in mutualistic exploitation system with which obtain food form nectar, pollen, fruit while providing mobility for plant’s pollen grains seeds. Coevolutionary aspects these bat-plant interactions discussed detail (Chapter 9). In this chapter I will discuss our present knowledge foraging strategies plant-visiting and be minimally concerned potential consequences chiropteran behavior on plant populations.
