Bat
Pollination in Cloud Forests
Over
several years studying the diet of nectar bats in cloud forests, I have
collected a number of photos and videos documenting bat pollination.
Photos were taken in flight cages (by Nathan Muchhala, except
for
the B. sodiroana
w/bat by Murray Cooper); videos were taken in the wild with
night-vision cameras. If anyone has ideas on plant
identifications, please email me!
