they spread fruit through digestion, many of the seeds of which will not grow unless they have been digested by the animal. While frugivores and fruit-producing plant species are present worldwide, there is some evidence that tropical forests have more frugivore seed dispersers than the temperate zones.

Ecological significance

Frugivore seed dispersal is a common phenomenon in many ecosystems. However, it is not a highly specific type of plant-animal interaction. For example, a single species of frugivorous bird may disperse
