Abstract

Ecological interactions are a key component of biodiversity, essential for understanding ecosystem services and functioning. Recording and quantifying ecological interactions is challenging, frequently requiring complex logistics and substantial effort in the field. Camera traps are routinely used in ecology for various applications, and have proven to be an excellent method for passive and non-invasive sampling of plant–animal interactions. We implemented a standardized camera trap protocol to document vertebrate frugivores-fleshy fruited plants interactions in Doñana National Park, SW Spain, with the central objective of inventorying the diversity of plant–animal ecological interactions providing seed dispersal services. From 2018 to 2023 we recorded pairwise interactions from which we obtained qualitative (presence-absence) and quantitative (frequency of visits) information. Each record in the dataset contains information of a visit by an individual animal to an individual plant, resulting in any form of fleshy-fruit use and provides information on visitation phenology, visit length, and feeding behavior. The dataset presented here includes 10,659 frugivory interaction events for 59 vertebrate species (46 birds, 13 mammals) recorded on 339 plant individuals from 13 different plant species which dominate the fleshy-fruited plant assemblage in the Doñana National Park. The most recorded animal species consuming fruits and playing a legitimate seed dispersal role was Curruca melanocephala (1678 records) among birds and Vulpes vulpes among mammals (751 records). Cervus elaphus, a fruit consumer with a marginal role as legitimate seed disperser, was the most recorded mammal species (1508 records). Avian frugivores, particularly those from the Sylviidae and Turdidae families, are widespread in the region and play a crucial role in maintaining the dispersal service for the fleshy-fruited plant populations in the area. The dataset offers highly versatile quantitative information that can be used to investigate frugivory from the highest resolution scale, the interaction event between pairs of individuals. In addition, other information that can be extracted includes the timing of interactions of animals and plants (their phenological couplings), activity periods of the animals, behavior during the events and preferences for individual plants within populations. There are no copyright restrictions on the data. When using the data from this data paper in publications, we kindly request that you cite the paper accordingly. Additionally, we encourage researchers and educators to inform us about how they are using this data, as we value feedback and would like to be aware of its various applications.

俭食陷阱:用相机陷阱记录的植物与动物互动数据集
生态相互作用是生物多样性的关键组成部分,对于了解生态系统的服务和功能至关重要。记录和量化生态相互作用具有挑战性,往往需要复杂的后勤工作和大量的野外工作。照相机陷阱在生态学中被广泛应用,已被证明是被动和非侵入性的植物与动物相互作用采样的绝佳方法。我们在西班牙西南部的多纳纳国家公园实施了标准化相机陷阱协议,以记录脊椎动物节食动物与多果类植物之间的相互作用,其核心目标是盘点提供种子传播服务的植物-动物生态相互作用的多样性。从 2018 年到 2023 年,我们记录了成对的相互作用,从中获得了定性(存在-不存在)和定量(访问频率)信息。数据集中的每条记录都包含单个动物访问单个植物的信息,导致任何形式的肉质果实使用,并提供了访问物候学、访问时长和取食行为的信息。本文介绍的数据集包括 59 种脊椎动物(46 种鸟类和 13 种哺乳动物)的 10,659 次觅食互动事件,记录的对象是多纳纳国家公园肉果植物群中占主导地位的 13 种不同植物的 339 个植物个体。在鸟类中,食用果实并合法传播种子的动物物种最多(1678 条记录),在哺乳动物中,食用果实并合法传播种子的动物物种最多(751 条记录)。哺乳动物中记录最多的物种是牛羚(Cervus elaphus),它是果实消费者,但只扮演合法种子传播者的边缘角色(1508 条记录)。该地区广泛分布着鸟类食俭动物,尤其是 Sylviidae 和 Turdidae 科的食俭动物,它们在维持该地区肉果植物种群的传播服务方面发挥着至关重要的作用。该数据集提供了高度通用的定量信息,可用于从最高分辨率尺度--成对个体之间的相互作用事件--研究俭食行为。此外,还可以提取其他信息,包括动物和植物的互动时间(它们的物候耦合)、动物的活动期、活动期间的行为以及对种群内个别植物的偏好。数据没有版权限制。在出版物中使用本数据论文中的数据时,我们恳请您相应地引用本论文。此外,我们鼓励研究人员和教育工作者告知我们他们是如何使用这些数据的,因为我们非常重视反馈意见,并希望了解这些数据的各种应用情况。

期刊介绍: Ecology publishes articles that report on the basic elements of ecological research. Emphasis is placed on concise, clear articles documenting important ecological phenomena. The journal publishes a broad array of research that includes a rapidly expanding envelope of subject matter, techniques, approaches, and concepts: paleoecology through present-day phenomena; evolutionary, population, physiological, community, and ecosystem ecology, as well as biogeochemistry; inclusive of descriptive, comparative, experimental, mathematical, statistical, and interdisciplinary approaches.
