frugivores

• Despite their ubiquity, dipterocarps enjoy a high degree of ecological immunity from megafauna as their leaves are largely inedible to vertebrates and they seed at intervals too long to serve as primary food sources for frugivores. —  The annotated budak
• In Thailand's Khao Yai National Park, noted a negative relationship between seed size and the number of frugivores that feed on a fruit. —  The annotated budak
• Larger, single-seeded fruit were not consumed by smaller frugivores that still thrive in degraded forests, echoing Corlett's own observation of barren South China forests that fruit to no avail. —  The annotated budak
• The frugivores (gorillas, chimpanzees and other primates) have intestinal tracts twelve times the length of the body, clawless hands and alkaline urine and saliva. —  MoJo Blogs and Articles
• Humans are classified as primates and are thus frugivores possessing a set of completely herbivorous teeth. —  MoJo Blogs and Articles
