General information
The information
on plant phenology and frugivore diet used in this study was taken
from two independent studies carried out at Barro Colorado Island
(9°9'N, 79°51'W) and Soberania National Park (9° 10'N,
79° 7'W) in Central Panama. Both sites have a tropical monsoon
climate and support a semideciduous tropical forest with a mature
canopy height of 35 m. The abundance and diet of dispersal agents
were studied to investigate both the timing of fruit maturation
and the patterns of seed dispersal.
Data type
The data indicates
the number of fruits taken by the bird species mist-netted at the
national park.
