The New York Times had an article in "Science Times" yesterday about a 2" bat with a 3.3" tongue that is apparently endemic to the western slopes of the Andes in Ecuador (Anoura fistulata). A putative nectar source identified in the article was a species of campanulata with a long corolla (Centropogon nigricans) that is found only in the bat's range. I wonder if there is a colocalization of this bat with Pamianthe peruviana. Peru is the neighbor to Ecuador's south. The article URL: http://nytimes.com/2006/12/… -- Jonathan P.S.
