Fruit–frugivore interactions in Amazonian seasonally flooded and unflooded forests

Journal of Tropical Ecology, 2014
Abstract:Constructing community fruit–frugivore networks has proved challenging in tropical forests to date, particularly in lowland Amazonia, which hosts the most diverse spectrum of frugivorous vertebrates and morphological fruit types worldwide. We assessed data on fruit resource production, frugivore assemblages and corresponding fruit–frugivore ...
