The tattoo serves as a personal keepsake, but it also reflects a decades-long shift in ecological thinking: Bats can play a decisive role <a href=\"https:\/\/brasil.mongabay.com\/2026\/01\/assentados-conduzem-plano-para-reflorestar-75-mil-hectares-no-oeste-paulista\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external\">when a forest needs to start over<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.embrapa.br\/busca-de-publicacoes\/-\/publicacao\/1024082\/servicos-ambientais-em-sistemas-agricolas-e-florestais-do-bioma-mata-atlantica\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external\">Data<\/a> from Embrapa Forestry show that frugivorous bats disperse seeds from more than 140 plant species in the Atlantic Forest, depositing between 600 and 25,930 seeds per hectare each day even in degraded areas. They feed on fruit in forests, cross agricultural areas for several kilometers and disperse seeds while flying \u2014 unlike most birds, which disperse seeds only when they land.<\/p>\n<p>For more than 20 years, researchers have investigated how to harness that natural behavior to accelerate forest restoration. The clue they needed lay in an adaptation bats already use to forage: An acute sense of smell.<\/p>\n<h2>Scents that attract<\/h2>\n<p>Knowing that bats track fruit by odor, researchers in the early 2000s wondered whether they could recreate the fragrance of ripe fruit to lure the animals into areas targeted for restoration.<\/p>\n<p>Sandra Bos Mikich of Embrapa Forestry and Gledson Vigiano Bianconi of the Federal Institute of Paran\u00e1 (IFPR) later tested the idea with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/236159396_Potencializando_o_Papel_dos_Morcegos_Frugivoros_na_Recuperacao_de_Areas_Degradadas_1_Improving_the_Role_of_Frugivorous_Bats_in_Forest_Restoration\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external\">experiments<\/a> in Paran\u00e1\u2019s Vila Rica do Esp\u00edrito Santo State Park (Pevres). They set out artificial fruits scented with essential oil of pariparoba (<em>Piper gaudichaudianum<\/em>), one of the bats\u2019 preferred foods. Moving the dispensers into an agricultural field 50 meters (164 feet) from the forest edge drew the animals out into open terrain.<\/p>\n<p>The team then began analyzing the essential oils of favored fruits to isolate active ingredients. Their findings, published <a href=\"https:\/\/repositorio.unesp.br\/server\/api\/core\/bitstreams\/efed5570-afd7-463c-92c8-65bea4224554\/content\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external\">in another study<\/a>, showed that certain compounds help bats locate food, while others signal that fruit is ripe.

Extracting essential oils directly from wild plants would be expensive and ecologically damaging. \u201cThat would be bad in environmental terms,\u201d Mikich said. \u201cBecause it would involve an extensive harvest of fruits. Consequently, I would be taking away food from those who are there [the wildlife] and compromising the seed dispersal of these plants.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To work around the problem, the researchers fractionated natural essences to test which components triggered the strongest behavioral responses. \u201cWe selected some synthetic compounds that manage to attract bats even without \u2018all the rest\u2019 of the oil,\u201d Mikich said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_335856\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/11\/13101158\/morcego1-fruit-bat.jpg\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-335856\" src=\"https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/11\/13101158\/morcego1-fruit-bat.jpg\" alt=\"A Seba's short-tailed bat (Carollia perspicillata). \" width=\"1217\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/11\/13101158\/morcego1-fruit-bat.jpg 1217w, https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/11\/13101158\/morcego1-fruit-bat-768x606.jpg 768w, https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/11\/13101158\/morcego1-fruit-bat-1200x947.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/11\/13101158\/morcego1-fruit-bat-610x481.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1217px) 100vw, 1217px\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A Seba\u2019s short-tailed bat (<em>Carollia perspicillata<\/em>).

And that\u2019s important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Experts, however, point to a challenge: Bats\u2019 seed-dispersal activities can also spread undesirable plants.<\/p>\n<p>Brancalion cited the tropical almond (<em>Terminalia catappa<\/em>), an introduced tree, as an example. \u201cBats don\u2019t care if they are exotic, native, invasive or threatened. They want to feed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Scientists recognize that bats can indeed contribute to forest regeneration, but they are not a technology that can replace the dynamics of the forest itself. Researchers say chemical attractants can increase the presence of seed dispersers, provided the animals already move through the area and have access to forest fragments that serve as habitat.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, experts are also working to expand knowledge of different bat species in an effort to better understand their complexity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[It was only] in the last 10 or 15 years that the animal side of the story began to be considered. You need the animals \u2014 seed dispersers, pollinators and others that provide natural biological control and decomposition,\u201d said Marco Mello, a professor at the University of S\u00e3o Paulo who studies interactions between bats and plants.<\/p>\n<p>Mello maintains <a href=\"https:\/\/zenodo.org\/records\/13468732\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external\">NeoBat<\/a>, an open database compiling published research on ecological interactions between bats and plants. The project gathers records from peer-reviewed articles, books, dissertations, theses and technical reports.<\/p>\n<p>Noting the ecosystem services bats provide, Mello said negative cultural associations with the animals are not universal. \u201cIf we think about native cultures here in South America and Central America, the image was different. For example, in Maya culture, in Central [and North] America, bats were gods, gods of fertility,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Banner image<\/em><\/strong><em>: A great fruit-eating bat (<\/em>Artibeus lituratus<em>).
