Ecological interactions are a key component of biodiversity, essential for understanding ecosystem services and functioning. Recording and quantifying ecological interactions is challenging, frequently requiring complex logistics and substantial effort in the field. Camera traps are routinely used in ecology for various applications, and have proven to be an excellent method for passive and non‐invasive sampling of plant–animal interactions. We implemented a standardized camera trap protocol to document vertebrate frugivores‐fleshy fruited plants interactions in Doñana National Park, SW Spain, with the central objective of inventorying the diversity of plant–animal ecological interactions providing seed dispersal services. From 2018 to 2023 we recorded pairwise interactions from which we obtained qualitative (presence‐absence) and quantitative (frequency of visits) information. Each record in the dataset contains information of a visit by an individual animal to an individual plant, resulting in any form of fleshy‐fruit use and provides information on visitation phenology, visit length, and feeding behavior. The dataset presented here includes 10,659 frugivory interaction events for 59 vertebrate species (46 birds, 13 mammals) recorded on 339 plant individuals from 13 different plant species which dominate the fleshy‐fruited plant assemblage in the Doñana National Park. The most recorded animal species consuming fruits and playing a legitimate seed dispersal role was Curruca melanocephala (1678 records) among birds and Vulpes vulpes among mammals (751 records). Cervus elaphus, a fruit consumer with a marginal role as legitimate seed disperser, was the most recorded mammal species (1508 records). Avian frugivores, particularly those from the Sylviidae and Turdidae families, are widespread in the region and play a crucial role in maintaining the dispersal service for the fleshy‐fruited plant populations in the area. The dataset offers highly versatile quantitative information that can be used to investigate frugivory from the highest resolution scale, the interaction event between pairs of individuals. In addition, other information that can be extracted includes the timing of interactions of animals and plants (their phenological couplings), activity periods of the animals, behavior during the events and preferences for individual plants within populations. There are no copyright restrictions on the data. When using the data from this data paper in publications, we kindly request that you cite the paper accordingly. Additionally, we encourage researchers and educators to inform us about how they are using this data, as we value feedback and would like to be aware of its various applications.

FRUGIVORY CAMTRAP：使用相机陷阱记录的植物-动物相互作用数据集


生态相互作用是生物多样性的关键组成部分，对于了解生态系统服务和功能至关重要。记录和量化生态相互作用具有挑战性，通常需要复杂的物流和现场的大量工作。相机陷阱在生态学中通常用于各种应用，并已被证明是对植物-动物相互作用进行被动和非侵入性采样的出色方法。我们实施了标准化的相机陷阱协议，以记录西班牙西南多纳纳国家公园的脊椎动物食果动物与肉质果实植物的相互作用，其中心目标是盘点植物-动物生态相互作用的多样性，提供种子传播服务。从 2018 年到 2023 年，我们记录了成对交互，从中我们获得了定性（存在-不存在）和定量（访问频率）信息。数据集中的每条记录都包含单个动物对单个植物的访问信息，导致任何形式的肉质果实使用，并提供有关访问物候、访问时间和摄食行为的信息。这里展示的数据集包括 59 种脊椎动物（46 种鸟类、13 种哺乳动物）的 10,659 次食果动物相互作用事件，记录在来自 13 种不同植物物种的 339 个植物个体上，这些植物个体在多纳纳国家公园的肉质果实植物组合中占主导地位。记录最多的食用水果并发挥合法种子传播作用的动物物种是鸟类中的 Curruca melanocephala（1678 条记录）和哺乳动物中的 Vulpes vulpes（751 条记录）。Cervus elaphus 是一种水果消费者，作为合法的种子传播者发挥着边缘作用，是记录最多的哺乳动物物种（1508 条记录）。 食果鸟，尤其是来自 Sylviidae 和 Turdidae 科的食果鸟，在该地区广泛分布，在维持该地区肉果植物种群的传播服务方面发挥着至关重要的作用。该数据集提供了高度通用的定量信息，可用于从最高分辨率的尺度（个体对之间的相互作用事件）研究食果动物。此外，可以提取的其他信息包括动植物相互作用的时间（它们的物候耦合）、动物的活动周期、事件期间的行为以及种群中单个植物的偏好。数据没有版权限制。在出版物中使用本数据论文的数据时，我们恳请您相应地引用该论文。此外，我们鼓励研究人员和教育工作者告知我们他们如何使用这些数据，因为我们重视反馈并希望了解其各种应用。
