Global Trends of Trait Matching in Avian Frugivory and Its Consequences for the Complementarity and Irreplaceability of Birds

It is generally accepted that small birds cannot eat large fruits and that highly frugivorous species prefer lipid-poor ones (morphological and nutritional trait-matching). Yet, it is unclear if these rules operate globally and if their strength varies with latitude and on islands. This could have i...

Yet, it is unclear if these rules operate globally and if their strength varies with latitude and on islands. This could have important functional implications for the degree of complementarity and irreplaceability of birds. We analyse avian frugivory in 59 communities across the globe and show that trait-matching is widespread. The strength of morphological trait-matching increased with latitude, and especially on islands, leading to high complementarity between large and small birds. However, whether this resulted in irreplaceability depended on the range of fruit sizes available in the community. Nutritional trait-matching was also common, but did not lead to complementarity or irreplaceability because birds with contrasting diets did not show opposite responses to lipid-poor fruits. We show that trait-matching is pervasive, but its functional consequences are complex.This work was supported by Ministry of Science and Innovation, Spain, Juan de la Cierva Incorporación (IJC2020-043765-I); Government of the Asturias Principality, REWILDING project, FEDER, GRUPIN (AYUD/2021/51261); National Agency for the Promotion of Research, Technological Development and Innovation (Argentina) (PICT 2018-01566).Peer reviewedJohn Wiley & SonsMinisterio de Ciencia e Innovación (España)Principado de AsturiasEuropean CommissionAgencia Nacional de Promoción de la Investigación, el Desarrollo Tecnológico y la Innovación (Argentina)Morán-López, Teresa [0000-0002-5804-5258]Campagna, M.

description It is generally accepted that small birds cannot eat large fruits and that highly frugivorous species prefer lipid-poor ones (morphological and nutritional trait-matching). Yet, it is unclear if these rules operate globally and if their strength varies with latitude and on islands. This could have important functional implications for the degree of complementarity and irreplaceability of birds. We analyse avian frugivory in 59 communities across the globe and show that trait-matching is widespread. The strength of morphological trait-matching increased with latitude, and especially on islands, leading to high complementarity between large and small birds. However, whether this resulted in irreplaceability depended on the range of fruit sizes available in the community. Nutritional trait-matching was also common, but did not lead to complementarity or irreplaceability because birds with contrasting diets did not show opposite responses to lipid-poor fruits. We show that trait-matching is pervasive, but its functional consequences are complex.
