Data for: Above-ground dry mass and fruit geometries of 31 field muskmelon plants
<p>We collected a total of 751 fruits from 31 <em>Cucumis melo </em>L. var. <em>agrestis</em> Naud. plants, digitized the side profiles of these fruits, and applied an explicit re-expression of Preston's equation (referred to as EPE hereinafter) to fit the planar coordinates of each fruit profile. By using the estimated parameters, we calculated the volume and surface area of each fruit. The black_white.zip file saves the black and white .bmp images at 600 dpi for the 751 fruits profiles. The edge_data.zip file includes the planar coordinates of each of the 751 fruits, and the EPE_results.csv file includes the estimated parameters and goodness-of-fit of the EPE, and the fruit surface area and volume calculated by the surface area and volume formulas of the solid of revolution based on the EPE for each fruit. In addition, the EPE_results.csv file also provides the measured volumes of the 751 fruits using the graduated cylinders. The MPG.csv file includes the total leaf dry mass, total stem dry mass, and total fruit volume of 31 <em>C. melo</em> var. <em>agrestis </em>plants.</p>

Data from: Can body mass and skull morphology predict seed and fruit ingestion potential for mammal species? A test using extant species and its application to extinct species
<p>Larger animals are assumed to ingest larger seeds and consume larger fruits, but empirical studies reveal inconsistent trends between body mass and the average size of fruits and seeds ingested. Further, no studies have explored seed size relationships with morphological traits, such as skull dimensions. Such characteristics might provide more reliable estimates of ingestion ability and allow for accurate predictions of seed dispersal capacity in species for which we lack empirical data, especially extinct species. To determine whether (i) mammalian skull dimensions are better predictors of the maximum size of ingested seeds and fruits, compared to body mass and (ii) body mass are the better predictors of mean fruit and seed sizes, we studied these relationships across three mammalian orders: Chiroptera, Primates, and Carnivora.</p> <p>We collected novel data on skull dimensions and collated available data on body mass and maximum and mean sizes of ingested fruits and seeds for mammals (N=100) across the Neotropics, Asia, Africa, and Madagascar. We explored the relationships between anatomical traits and fruit and seed sizes of extant species and made predictions for five extinct species.</p> <p>Our results revealed that body mass and skull dimensions are essential determinants of ingested fruit and seed size in mammals. The latter traits can generate predictions for extinct species, especially coronoid height and maximum jaw gape. Nevertheless, body mass predicted larger ingested fruits and seeds than skull dimensions and explained a greater part of the variance for both maximum and mean sizes in our dataset.</p> <p>Our results show how body mass and cranial anatomy constrain seed size and reinforce the importance of maintaining functional diversity in seed dispersers to maintain tropical forest structure. We also show that scientists can use morphological characteristics to predict the seed dispersal potential of extinct mammals allowing better inferences on past and future consequences of frugivore extinctions within tropical forests.</p>
