Abstract
Solitary and group-foraging patterns were observed in the lesser spear-nosed bat P. discolor while visiting flowers. Observations made at flowering plants of Lafoensia glyptocarpa and 2 spp. of Bauhinia in southeastern Brazil suggest that these patterns may be related to the number of flowers or amount of food presented by a given plant.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
