Abstract: The physiology of bat-pollinated flowers is particularly striking because the flowers secrete large amounts of nectar and emit peculiar odors (Fleming et al. 2009). Diverse floral parts, including nectar, can produce their own distinct scents… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1009706
Abstract: Bat-pollinated flowers have to attract their pollinators in absence of light and therefore some species developed specialized echoic floral parts. These parts are usually concave shaped and act like acoustic retroreflectors making the flowers acoustically… read more here.
