“…However, most bat species appear to have morphological specializations for fruit, nectar, or animal-based diets (Freeman, 1984(Freeman, , 2000Dumont, 2003;Swartz et al, 2003, Winter andVon Helverson, 2003) and rely entirely or primarily on one type of food at least in some seasons of the year (Gardner, 1977;Freeman, 1984Freeman, , 2000, thus allowing the categorizations described above. Clear exceptions exist, however-true omnivorous bats that routinely consume a variety of food types including both animal and plant products (Gardner, 1977;Arkins et al, 1999;Lloyd, 2001;Rex et al, 2010;Dumont et al, 2011;Clare et al, 2014;Yohe et al, 2015). These taxa all belong to the Neotropical family Phyllostomidae and the related New Zealand/Australian endemic family Mystacindae.…”
