This plant is a sac-shaped plant with binomial nomenclature of Nepenthes rafflesiana, which is also an insectivorous eater. This plant gets essential nutrients from the bat buns of Hardwicke. The relationship between the Hardwicke bats and the Nepenthes rafflesiana pouch in Brunei is a symbiotic mutualism because it is not just the pockets that benefit. Bats get protection by perched on the leaves of the round plants. "Beyond expectations. This result is surprising, "said study leader T. Ulmar Grafe who is also a scientist at Brunei Darussalam University. The relationship was first discovered when one of Grafe's students found a bat inside the N. rafflesiana pouch. When issued, the bat is alive and well. "Apparently sleeping in a bag," Grafe said. In fact, N. rafflesiana is a carnivorous plant that traps insects to fall into the bag. Incoming insects are slowly digested with enzymes present in the base of the sac. The research team installed the bat with the transmitter then released it back to nature. They collect the marsupials that the bat chooses. The researchers also searched for marsupials that bat was not used for comparison. The plants used bats have more nitrogen in the leaves than the unused plants. The exhaust bats during perch contribute to 34 percent of all nutrients the plant needs. Similarly, a study report published on January 26 in Biology Letters.
