Neotropical bat diversity is high, suggesting finely partitioned niches. Mist nets were set up on edges of Premontane Moist Forest and secondary forest remnants of San Luis, Costa Rica to examine plant use by frugivorous bats there. I caught 42 frugivorous bats of four species and one nectavorous bat: Carollia subrufa, Carollia perspicillata, Sturnira ludovici, Artibeus toltecus, and Glossophaga soricina . The number of Piper, Solanum, and other seeds were counted and identified in fecal matter to see what each species of bats were eating. The main diet of all 4 species of bats studied consisted of similar species of Piper. Although A. toltecus is known to have a diet consisting of mainly Solanum (Dinerstein, 1981), I found that every A. t...
