The abstract compares two bat species visiting Neobuxbaumia tetetzo flowers. The authors analysed correspondence between head and cranial traits and floral traits, together with pollen load composition. Their results suggest a greater probability of pollination by Leptonycteris yerbabuenae in the system studied. The publisher’s abstract was consulted.
