Abstract
Bat pollination at the range margin in the southwestern Neotropics has been largely unexplored. We provide for the first time direct evidence on bat pollination, visitation rate, and efficiency for three species of the Southern Andean Yungas. These interactions are valuable targets for future conservation efforts in this endangered ecosystem.
Abstract in Spanish is available with online material.
期刊介绍:
Ranked by the ISI index, Biotropica is a highly regarded source of original research on the ecology, conservation and management of all tropical ecosystems, and on the evolution, behavior, and population biology of tropical organisms. Published on behalf of the Association of Tropical Biology and Conservation, the journal''s Special Issues and Special Sections quickly become indispensable references for researchers in the field. Biotropica publishes timely Papers, Reviews, Commentaries, and Insights. Commentaries generate thought-provoking ideas that frequently initiate fruitful debate and discussion, while Reviews provide authoritative and analytical overviews of topics of current conservation or ecological importance. The newly instituted category Insights replaces Short Communications.
