- Abstract
This article is the compilation of the work that was carried out in the vicinity of Kilometer 11 (Leticia) and Puerto Nariño, Amazonas, this consisted of the characterization of the floristic constitution of the mentioned localities, by means of 50m x 2m plots, in order to properly locate fog nets for the capture of bats and subsequent identification of eating habits and interactions with plants, thanks to the observation of their oral structures. After two days of capture and observation, photographic and written material was recorded, together with bibliographic review, allowed to establish the frugivorous habits of the captured bats, found in the bibliography consulted as Dosel mammals; With the accompaniment of local guides and bibliography, it was evidenced that it's main source of food is Yarumo (Cecropia peltata) that due to it's height between 5m and 30m high is characterized in Dosel (Linares, 2010) and the Chontaduro (Bactris gasipaes) that can reach a height of 20m, (Mesa, 2013), these are abundant plants in the characterization of secondary forest, this allowed to show bats interactions with these plants, since they can act as dispersers of seeds in the Colombian Amazon rainforest.
