Fleshy‐Fruit Consumption in Doñana

Seed dispersal has a main role in ecology, influencing plant dynamics.Many plants offer fleshy fruits leading to their dispersal by animals.These plant-animal interactions might be mutualistic, when animals legitimately disperse seeds, while others might be antagonistic, involving predation that reduces seed dispersal; but most are somewhere in between.For animals, fruits also provide nutrients to enrich their diet.This two-sided process creates a web of interactions between different plants and animals, crucial for supporting ecosystems on Earth.In this photo gallery, with images from camera traps, we showcase frugivory among various species, highlighting an array of plant-animal interactions.

Abstract

Seed dispersal has a main role in ecology, influencing plant dynamics.Many plants offer fleshy fruits leading to their dispersal by animals.These plant-animal interactions might be mutualistic, when animals legitimately disperse seeds, while others might be antagonistic, involving predation that reduces seed dispersal; but most are somewhere in between.For animals, fruits also provide nutrients to enrich their diet.This two-sided process creates a web of interactions between different plants and animals, crucial for supporting ecosystems on Earth.In this photo gallery, with images from camera traps, we showcase frugivory among various species, highlighting an array of plant-animal interactions.
