Bats Are Important Bats are often considered “keystone species” that are essential to some tropical and desert ecosystems. Without bats’ pollination and seed-dispersing services, local ecosystems could gradually collapse as plants fail to provide food and cover for wildlife species near the base of the food chain.ore than 1,300 species of bats around the world are playing ecological roles that are vital to the health of natural ecosystems and human economies.

In night eyes becomes almost useless so bats have adapted to themselves to locate the object, by producing sound and listening the echo of sound produced. They have a skin fold developed between thre fore limbs and hind limbs to fly like a bird.

Process of Echolocation The use of clicking by bats is also associated with echolocation. Those clicks have distinct meaning in a similar way to Morse Code. The use of bat detectors have been very helpful in many studies to be able to determine the frequencies and to gain insight to how echolocation works for bats.

Role of bats in our ecosystems (ecosystem services) In the tropics many plants are pollinated by bats, attracted to their strong scent at night and bats are important seed dispersers for many tree species. Fruit bats pollinate the legendary baobab tree – these iconic trees have cultural and aesthetic value.he majority of bats eat night-flying insects, including many agricultural pests.

- A colony of Peters' tent-making bats (Uroderma bilobatum) Bats are mammals in the order Chiroptera. They are the only mammals that can fly. Other mammals like flying squirrels, or flying possum, can glide but not fly. Bats are nocturnal – they are active during the night, dusk, or dawn. Most use echolocation to catch prey and to find their way about. As nighttime animals, bats avoid direct competition with birds, few of which are nocturnal. Bats are a successful group. They are the second largest order of mammals: there are more than 1,100 species of bats.

Bats do much more good than harm eating tons of insects, including mosquitoes, each year. But when they move in with people they can cause problems. Of greatest concern is the potential for diseases such as histoplasmosis found in bat droppings and the rare occurrence of rabies in a bat that might fall sick and be found by a pet or child.
