The Complexity of Background Clutter Affects Nectar Bat Use of Flower Odor and Shape Cues
Given their small size and high metabolism, nectar bats need to be able to quickly locate flowers during foraging bouts. Chiropterophilous plants depend on these bats for their reproduction, thus they also benefit if their flowers can be easily located, and we would expect that floral traits such as...
