Extended Data Fig. 1: Methodological diagram.
From: Frugivores enhance potential carbon recovery in fragmented landscapes
The upper panel shows the structure of the models developed for each process: source limitation (a), frugivory interactions (b), animal movement (c), seed retention (d). In the model structure, blue squares represent the data and the green circles the parameters estimated by the model. We can observe a hierarchical structure of the models where phylogeny and traits indirectly influence the mean response of the species, while variables such as trait matching or cover type directly influence the processes. The parameters estimated in each model, and the plant and bird composition in each landscape, are intergraded in simulation of seed rainfall in each landscape cover (e).
