Data set - Refaunation and the reinstatement of the seed-dispersal function in Gorongosa National Park.xlsx

This dataset is part of the work "Refaunation and the reinstatement of the seed-dispersal function in Gorongosa National Park" by Correia et al. (2016) and published in Conservation Biology (<b>doi.org/10.1111/cobi.12782)</b>. This work evaluated the effectiveness of a wildlife sanctuary, established to recover populations of large mammals in Gorongosa National Park - Mozambique, Africa, in restoring seed dispersal.Animal scats were collected along transects inside and transects outside the sanctuary fence (50 km total) with the same type of plant community (2014). Interactions between a seed and a mammal disperser were compiled into quantitative interaction matrices for data collected inside and outside the sanctuary. Seed dispersal was calculated based on the frequency of occurrence of seeds in a scat.For more details refer to the published work.
