Seed traits of seed within spider monkey, howler monkey feces, and dung beetles' dung balls

These data files contain seed traits from three sources, 1) seed traits from \"Seeds of Amazonian Plants\", 2) Royal Botanic Gardens Kew Seed Information Database, and 3) seeds dissected from field collections of primate feces and dung balls from dung beetles. The dataset was used in the article published in Biotropica entitled \"Seed size and pubescence facilitate secondary dispersal by dung beetles\". The data mostly describes seed traits of morphospecies within the feces of brown-headed spider monkeys (Ateles fusciceps) and mantled howler monkeys (Alouatta palliata). Traits included in the data set are size, surface, length, width, shape, color, and dispersal by mammals.Â
