· “With over 1,400 species worldwide, bats are critical components to many ecosystems as

pollinators, seed dispersers, and consumers of night-flying insects, among many other ecological

on bat diets and theecosystem services they provide by gathering all published, peer-reviewed

accounts of these interactions.”
