Excited to share this hot-off-the-press work in New Phytologist! With @azuluagat & @JMHbiologistico, we used experiments to address the adaptive significance of a trait common among bat-pollinated flowers...

Our article on why bat flowers have long stems is out! See video below:

A nice news piece from New Scientist on our latest bat-flower work!

Some bat-pollinated flowers may have evolved long stems to be more visible to echolocating bats.🦇🌷🤯

Since hearing isn't as precise as vision, we suggest this maximizes 'visibility' to bat echolocation, much like how bright red flowers function for hummingbirds

Thought it was about time to introduce myself.
I'm Belen Alvestegui. I'm a Bolivian biologist and a PhD candidate in @Muchhala_Lab at @BiologyUmsl. I study the systematics, evolution and pollination of Symbolanthus plants.
