Abstract:

We monitored frugivore diversity and plant-frugivore interactions in a tropical montane forest in Southern Ecuador across an elevational (1000, 2000, 3000 masl) and human disturbance gradient over two years (2014 & 2015)

Additional Infos:

In the uploaded data you can find the richness and abundance of frugivore birds and fruiting plants(involved in the interaction networks. They were recorded in a 30m x 100m transect inside the core plots. For more information about the interaction network data contact Marta Quitián.
