from other groups. Bats are in some ways the noctumal equivalents of birds, having evolved and radiated into a diversity of forms to fill many of the same niches. The evolution of flight and echolocation in bats was undoubtedly a prime mover in the diversification of feeding and roosting habits, rep

Foraging Strategies of Plant-Visiting Bats,ll discuss our present knowledge of the foraging strategies of plant-visiting bats and will be minimally concerned with the potential consequences of chiropteran foraging behavior on plant populations.

Coevolution between Bats and Plants,ude the extensive use of insects (Howell and Hodgkin, 1976). On the other side of the interaction, plants such as . (the calabash tree) are so efficiently pollinated by bats that they are unable to reproduce without bat assistance. The structure of its flowers and the timing of nectar presentation preclude pollination by other animals.

Roosting Ecology of Bats, social organization, and an energy economy imposed by body size and the physical environment. For many bats the availability and physical capacity of roosts can set limits on the number and dispersion of roosting bats, and this in turn can influence the type of social organization and foraging stra

Ecological Significance of Chiropteran Morphology,ties of individual fruit bats we cannot make more refined predictions about the size and kind of fruit consumed, the extent to which animals are eaten, the nature of seasonal changes in diet, and so on. Our contention is that because the selective regimen imposed on a species through evolutionary ti
