Description

I understand that this was the first confirmed sighting of a short-tailed bat at this site and it was one of the first photographs confirming that this bat species visited and pollinated Dactylanthus flowers. See Ecroyd, C.E. 1996. The ecology of Dactylanthus taylorii and threats to its survival. N. Z. J. of Ecology, 20(1):81-100. (Available online).
