Seed dispersal data
In order to explore the seed dispersal capacities of the species
studied, we compiled data on transit times and seed dispersal distances.
Unfortunately, these parameters are only variably present in the
literature, thus we were not able to compile enough data for bats and
carnivores. We obtained data for 16 species of Primates (see Appendix
S2). We compiled average and maximum transit times of the food ingested
but also the average and maximum seed dispersal distances estimated in
the literature. For two species (i.e. Leontocebus nigrifrons andSaguinus mystax ), only medians of seed dispersal distances were
available instead of averages. The average transit time is the average
of the measured durations between the ingestion of a food and its first
defecation. The maximum transit time is the time to the defecation of
the last element.
