Literature on Neotropical Bat/Plant Interactions

Frédéric Blanchard

The New York Botanical Garden

This is an alphabetical list of papers documenting the bat/plant interactions found in the Database of Neotropical Bat/Plant Interactions. The reference list is derived from an EndNote database maintained by Scott A. Mori (smori@nybg.org) to whom additions and corrections should be reported. We have many other papers on hand that have not yet been read. As time permits, the information in them will be added to the database and the papers to the list of references.

Please report leads to additional papers on bat/plant interactions or send reprints of papers to Scott A. Mori; Institute of Systematic Botany, The New York Botanical Garden; Bronx, New York 10458-5126.
For problems or questions, please contact Cullen Geiselman: cgeiselman@nybg.org

We are grateful to Heather Peckham and Alexander MacFarlane for the work they put into these databases as part of internships at The New York Botanical Garden and to the Beneficia Foundation and Bat Conservation International for supporting our studies of bat/plant interactions.
