However, the importance of bats as pollinators has been overlooked, with a consequent lack of knowledge of the reliance of crops on bats for harvest yield and quality. We used exclusion experiments to determine the effect of different pollinator taxa on the yield and quality of pitayas (fruit...

provide cultural ES, such as bat-related tourism, which in some cases generate considerable revenue. We highlight a significant gap in research on urban ES by bats that must be filled given its expected importance. We call for studies to document and quantify such ES, especially studies that ...
Additionally, the agave plant, which is used to make tequila, is completely dependent on bat pollinators for reproduction.(人类消费的许多植物产品都属于这种优先授粉类别。一些受欢迎的食物包括芒果、香蕉、桃子和番石榴。此外,用于制作龙舌兰酒的龙舌兰植物完全依赖蝙蝠传粉者进行繁殖)”举出一些典型的例子来说明...
