abstract |
Presented here are the accidents that happened with bats on plants having thorns (Prunus spinosa, Robinia pseudoacacia), spines (Arctium sp., Ancistrocactus megarhizus), and sticky buds (Aesculus hippocastanum). Bats clung on thorns and spines of plants by their wings, and stuck to sticky buds of horse chestnut and could not get rid of. Bats have begun to face new problems for themselves related to the elements introduced by man into their habitat (including cacti) or unnatural shelters (buildings).
