Abstract in brief

  • The dataset compiles 8,320 records of plant-frugivore interactions in the Atlantic Forest, involving 331 vertebrate species and 788 plant species, with detailed traits such as fruit/seed size and animal gape and body size.
  • While comprehensive, the data has biases in taxonomic representation—certain plant families and animal species are more common—and is geographically concentrated in southeastern parts of the Atlantic Forest.
  • Key findings include that larger seeds are primarily dispersed by terrestrial mammals and that birds are the main fruit consumers, especially those with lipid-rich fruits, with some frugivores like muriquis and thrushes showing diverse diets.]
