Birds And Bats: Complex Interactions Shaping Ecosystem Dynamics
Birds and bats engage in diverse interactions that impact their survival and ecosystem dynamics. Bird droppings affect bat health, while bats may compete with birds for roosting sites. Birds prey on bats, while bats occasionally target birds. Bird calls can disrupt bat echolocation, and bats may benefit from bird droppings. Competition for resources exists, but both species also exhibit coexistence strategies. These complex relationships contribute to biodiversity and ecosystem resilience.
