Wild fruits come in a tremendous diversity of shapes, forms, colors, aromas, and textures.
Fleshy fruits have evolved to be attractive to animal seed dispersers, and this complex array of
traits acts as a biological filter, promoting interactions with some frugivores while prohibiting
others. Data on wild fruit traits are still lacking. Here we provide fruit trait data for 43 species we
collected in Ranomafana National Park.
