Dataset on frugivory interactions among tree and animal species in Afrotropical forests

We present the dataset on frugivory interactions among tree and animal species in Afrotropical forests used in the article titled “Trait-matching and sampling effort shape the structure of the frugivory network in Afrotropical forests” by Durand-Bessart C, Cordeiro N, Chapman C, Abernethy K, Forget P-M, Fontaine C and Bretagnolle F; published in NewPhytologist.

This dataset was created by the compilation of 256 literature sources, and involved 807 tree and 285 frugivore species across Afrortropical forests. Species characteristics are also included.
