Bats Are Acoustically Attracted to Mutualistic Carnivorous Plants
- •A carnivorous plant features an ultrasound reflector attractive for mutualistic bats
- •This reflector enables the bats to easily find and identify the plant’s pitchers
- •The bats fertilize these Paleotropical plants with feces in exchange for roosts
- •Such reflectors were convergently acquired in Neotropical bat-pollinated plants
