| Sumario: | Data and codes of the paper "Global trends of trait matching in avian frugivory and its consequences for the complementarity and irreplaceability of birds", which quantifies trait-matching in avian frugivory from 59 communities across the globe in order to (i) evaluate if trait-matching is generalizable, (ii) if its strengths varies with latitude and insularity, (iii) and explore the functional consequences of such trait-matching between birds and plants. The data contains information of 6883 pairwise interactions between 799 plant and 733 bird species from 84 and 76 families. It also contains information about interaction-relevant traits of birds (beak width, degree of frugivory in birds) and plants (fruit diameter and lipid content of fruit pulps), and matrices of species phylogenectic correlations and distances. We also include the scripts to generate the joint species frugivory model in stan and fit it to data.
