Percentage of fruit species consumed by flying foxes that are potentially dependent on them for seed dispersal. Species with small (S), medium (M), large (L) and extra large (XL) diaspores are indicated separately. Width of bars is proportional to the number of species represented within it. ‘Fruit species’ shows the number of species that are common or rare in the flying fox diet. ‘Frugivores’ indicates the proportion of species that have or lack an alternative disperser. ‘Percent crop consumed’ distinguishes those species for which alternative frugivores make almost no contribution (bats disperse >90 % of seeds), those species studied for which flying foxes dispersed <90 % of diaspores and those species that were not studied but which show features more consistent with bird or water dispersal. ‘Dispersal distance’ indicates whether flying foxes are the only disperser moving seeds away from the canopy or whether other species also contribute (DA, dispersal away).
