Pigeons as seed predators and dispersers of figs in a Malaysian lowland forest

Seven pigeon species fed on figs from at least 22 Ficus taxa at a lowland forest site in Peninsular Malaysia. Forest pigeons of the genus Treron are fig‐eating specialists. Although these are important fig‐seed predators, at least some of the population, and pigeons from other genera, potentially disperse Ficus seeds to distant sites.
