2.3. Bat predation on WBP
We predicted the average number of WBP directly predated by.
Leelapaibul et al.
assessed the diet of this bat in
Khao Chong Pran in Thailand over one year.
This largest colony
of two million individuals was our reference.
We estimated the
percent mass of WBP in the bat diet from its relative frequency
occurrence .
Then the average number of directly predated WBP was derived from
the known mass of adult WBP ,
the proportion
of winged female WBP ,
and bat
feeding rates
