Testing for reciprocal trait influence in plant-frugivore interactions using generalized joint attribute modeling

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Under an adaptive hypothesis, the reciprocal influence between mutualistic plants and frugivores is expected to result in dispersal syndromes comprising both frugivore and plant traits that structure fruit consumption. Tests of this adaptive hypothesis, however, focus on traits of either fruits or frugivores but not both and often ignore within-species variation. To overcome these limitations, w...
