title: Sensory Biology: Acoustic Reflectors Attract Bats to Roost in Pitcher Plants.
abstract: A new study shows that a carnivorous plant attracts bats by possessing modified pitfall taps that increase the reflectivity of echolocation calls. Bats benefit by finding roosting sites, and the plants gain by receiving nitrogen from guano.
