Habitat:
This bat is basically frugivorous, although it has been considered an opportunistic pollinator (Regan et al. 2015). Pregnant females were caught on August-January, and lactating females on February (Gardner 2008). In Colombia, this species exhibited postpartum oestrus and bimodal polyestry with pregnant females found in all months except from July to September (Gardner 2008). Its ecology is poorly known, despite being well collected. It has a generation length of six years (Pacifici et al. 2013).
Range:
This species occurs in the lowlands of the southern Panama, the Pacific region of Colombia, south to northwester Ecuador, over an elevational range from zero to 1,000 m asl (Alberico et al. 2000, Gardner 2008, Velazco and Gardner 2009). It is know from two localities in Panama, and at least 22 and 29 localities in western Colombia and Ecuador (Velazco and Gardner 2009, Burneo and Tirira 2014).
Conservation:
It occurs in protected areas as the National Natural Park Ensenada de Utría, and Katíos, Colombia (Muñoz-Saba and Alberico 2004). In Colombia, P. chocoensis has been included as Data Deficient and Near Threatened based on habitat destruction (Muñoz-Saba and Alberico 2006). In Ecuador, it has been considered as Data Deficient (Tirira 2001).
