Palm-primate interactions: Number of palm species and palm species identity in primate diets according to region (Africa, Asia, Madagascar, Neotropics); Parts of palm species consumed by primates according to region; palm species of high importance in primate diets according to region; palm seed di

We compiled data on palms in the diets of primates and on palm seed dispersal by primates to criticially discuss the hypothesis by Onstein et al. 2020 (Proc R Soc B) that \"the interactions between primates and palms are related to the co-evolutionary dynamics of primate colour vision systems and palm fruit colours\". Our copilation of data on interactions between palms and primates suggests that the mutualism-dependent co-diversification scenario deployed by Onstein et al. is not supported in view of the low
level of extant primate-palm interactions in Africa.

我们汇编了灵长类取食棕榈类植物以及灵长类传播棕榈种子的相关数据，旨在批判性探讨Onstein等人2020年发表于《英国皇家学会学报B辑》（Proc R Soc B）的假说："灵长类与棕榈之间的相互作用，与灵长类色觉系统和棕榈果实颜色的协同演化动态密切相关"。我们汇编的灵长类与棕榈相互作用数据集显示，鉴于非洲现存的灵长类-棕榈相互作用水平较低，Onstein等人所提出的依赖互利共生的协同多样化假说并未得到支持。
