Bat-fruit interactions are more specialized in shaded-coffee plantations than in tropical mountain cloud forest fragments

Forest disturbance causes specialization of plant-frugivore networks and jeopardizes mutualistic interactions through reduction of ecological redundancy. To evaluate how simplification of a forest into an agroecosystem affects plant-disperser mutualistic interactions, we compared bat-fruit interacti...
