(Attraction and reward of nectar-feeding bats (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) by the plant Bauhinia holophylla (Fabaceae) in a Brazilian savanna) In facultative mutualisms, species compete strongly with each other for partners. It is expected that sympatric plant species pollinated by the same guild of animals invest heavily in attracting partners. Thus, we investigated interactions between Bauhinia holophylla and bats to test whether: (1) this plant is visited mostly by bats and if it assures attraction of bats through typically chiropterophilic floral traits; and (2) bats adjust their foraging behavior to the temporal pattern of nectar production by flowers. We worked in a Cerrado area in southeastern Brazil, recording floral visitors and th...
