A combination of rules govern fruit trait preference by frugivorous bat and bird species: nutrients, defence and size

Several hypotheses explain how sensory, anatomical and physiological constraints drive fruit preference in frugivores. Optimal diet theory (ODT) states that frugivores make decisions based on the energy contained in food. In contrast, geometry of nutrition (GN) states that animals balance their macr...
