Crab spiders affect flower visitation by bees
In a field experiment, the bumblebee, B. ternarius, visited milkweed patches harboring crab spiders, Misumena atia, at a lower frequency than patches free of crab spiders, and honeybees showed a similar but non-significant trend. Two other bumblebee species, B. terricola and B. agans, did not avoid the spider patches. The latter two species are larger than B. ternarius and honeybees and suffer ...
متن کاملThe Role of Morphology in Diet and Flower Visitation by Five Species of Cuban Flower-Visiting Bats
Pollinator and flower morphology are important factors in structuring the plant-pollinator relationship. A pollinator’s morphology may influence aspects of its diet. Flower-visiting bats are important pollinators but very little is known about what influences their interactions with food plants. I examined the role of morphology in the partitioning of food resources for five species of flower-v...
متن کاملThe New Zealand short-tailed bat Mystacina tuberculata
(Chiroptera: Mystacinidae) has been of great interest to biologists (see Lloyd, 2001 for a review). It is one of only two extant indigenous mammals in New Zealand, the other being the long-tailed bat Chalinolobus tuberculatus (O’Donnell, 2001). It therefore evolved in the absence of small terrestrial mammals and, until recent introductions of predators by humans, may have been exposed to few pr...
متن کاملComparative phylogeography of short-tailed bats
This is the first study of comparative phylogeography involving closely related species of Neotropical bats of the family Phyllostomidae. We compared patterns of geographical variation within the five species of fruit-eating bats currently recognized in the genus Carollia using the complete mitochondrial cytochrome -b gene. Our results suggest that the combined effect of the uplift of the Andes...
متن کاملThe effect of recording situation on the echolocation calls of the New Zealand lesser short-tailed bat (Mystacina tuberculata Gray)
Using a broad-band recording system (150 Hz-100 kHz) the echolocation calls of the lesser short-tailed bat (Mystacina tuberculata) were recorded under three very different situations: freeflying, flying within a flight cage, and on release from the hand. Calls of bats landing and feeding on a platform in Wellington Zoo were also recorded. Both the lowest frequency and frequency of peak amplitud...
