Abstract
- We tested the hypothesis that bats are effective pollinators of mangroves in Malaysia. Bats ( Eonycteris spelaea) visited flowers of two Sonneratia species frequently, and deposited large quantities of conspecific pollen grains on stigmas. The bats are likely to be important pollinators of the two mangrove species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
