C.  aPredation by a snake of a flower-visiting bat at Parkia nitida (leguminosaebMimosoideae).  c1982  aAn observation of a snake catching a bat visiting a capitulum of the chiropterophilous tree Parkia nitida is described. The implications of predator avoidance on the behavior of pollinators and hence on cross-pollination are discussed. Fear of predation may be the reason why some bats make only brief visits to Parkia capitula.  aParkia nitida  apredation  aCobra  aLegume  aLeguminosa  aMorcego  aBat  aPredacao  aSnake1 aHOPKINS, M.
