Plant and bat interactions in West Africa
- Annals ot the Missouri Botanical Garden, 61(3), p.702-727, 1974 .
One of the most dramatic plant and animal relationships in the West African ecosystem is that which takes place between such frugivorus bats as Epomophorus gambianus and Eidolon helvum and the introduced nemm tree, Azadirachta indica. While earlier studies on batbehavior were carried out by personal observation and ordinary photographic means, recently developped night vision equipment has allowed the author to make nocturnal observations previously not possible.
