About: Syconycteris

An Entity of Type: insect, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Syconycteris (blossom bat) is a genus of megabat in the family Pteropodidae. There are three described species at present, with more likely to be added. Members of this genus are found in Indonesia, New Guinea and Australia. Their diet mainly consists of nectar and fruit, making them important for pollination and seed dispersal in their environment. The Etolo tribe of New Guinea will sometimes include Syconycteris bats in their diet, along with other bats.

  • Syconycteris (blossom bat) is a genus of megabat in the family Pteropodidae. There are three described species at present, with more likely to be added. Members of this genus are found in Indonesia, New Guinea and Australia. Their diet mainly consists of nectar and fruit, making them important for pollination and seed dispersal in their environment. Syconycteris bats play an especially important role as pollinators for flowers that require an explosive opening such as . This is where the stamen and pistill are covered until exposed by an animal. Syconycteris opens the flower by pushing their snout into the basal section between the banner and carina and then pressing their wings to open. Syconycteris bats are primary pollinators as the pollen of explosively opened flowers sticks to their fur. Syconycteris is a long tongued nectar feeding bat. They are small compared to other megabats and swarm around tall fruit trees. Like closely related Macroglossus species, their vocalizations consist of a long series of similar trill like bursts with high repetition rate and small changes in dominant frequency. They vocalize when distressed and when fighting against other bats over food. The similarity to the echolocating bat Rousettus has led to hypthotheses that Syconycteris is also capable of echolocation. The Etolo tribe of New Guinea will sometimes include Syconycteris bats in their diet, along with other bats. Syconycteris is unique among megabats bats because they do not produce spats. Spats are created by slow feeding bats that chew and swallow the juices of their food while pressing the pulp and seeds into a spat or wadge which is then spit out. This makes them more effective seed dispersers because seeds in spats tend to travel less distance and are more vulnerable to fungi compared to seeds that are defecated like those eaten by Syconycteris.
