Seed dispersal is a key process for ecosystem functioning, especially in tropical environments, where it has profound ecological and evolutionary repercussions on the individual (Jordano et al., 2007), population ), community (Levine & Murrell, 2003), ecosystem (Rogers et al., 2021, and landscape (Villar et al., 2021) levels. One of the key elements for seed dispersal is the size of the interacting agents. Large plants usually have large seeds (Moles et al., 2005;Moles & Westoby, 2006;Thompson & Rabinowitz, 1989), which are better dispersed by medium-to largebodied frugivores (Corlett, 1998;Kitamura et al., 2002). However, large-bodied vertebrates represent one of the most highly endangered species groups in the world (Barnosky et al., 2011;Dirzo et al., 2014), commonly threatened by hunting, habitat destruction, fragmentation, selective-logging, and human-wildlife conflicts
