Our results showed that seed dispersal distance achieved by mammals are tend to be longer than that by birds. This was probably due to the difference of their home range size (i.e., larger home range in mammals). The results also indicated that annual and seasonal variation in community-level fruit abundance can drive seed dispersal distance across species. Abundant fruit satiated fruit removal by animals and decreased their seed dispersal distance. We illustrated that home range of seed disperser and temporal variation in community-level fruit abundance could be determining factors for seed dispersal.
