Habitat characteristics of forest fragments determine specialisation of plant-frugivore networks in a mosaic forest landscape.

Plant-frugivore networks play a key role in the regeneration of sub-tropical forest ecosystems. However, information about the impact of habitat characteristics on plant-frugivore networks in fragmented forests is scarce. We investigated the importance of fruit abundance, fruiting plant species rich...
