Howler Monkey Plant Consumption Data for Ecological Interaction Restoration Analysis

45.2 MB of data from a 2026 study analyzing the restoration of ecological interactions following brown howler monkey reintroduction in Tijuca National Park, Brazil. Pedro Zero provides datasets on leaf and fruit consumption, including plant abundance, restoration time, and Chesson's electivity index. The repository includes R scripts to reproduce all analyses and figures from the associated manuscript.

Use Cases

• Modeling the time lag for ecological interaction restoration based on plant species abundance data
• Analyzing primate dietary selectivity patterns using Chesson's electivity index values
• Evaluating the probability of interaction restoration across different plant abundance classes
• Reproducing statistical analyses for reintroduction studies using the provided R scripts

Strengths

• Includes companion R script that reproduces all analyses and figures from the manuscript
• Data is structured into separate CSV files for leaf and fruit consumption interactions
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse
• 45.2 MB size indicates a detailed but manageable dataset for analysis

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for specific modeling tasks
• Data reflects a specific geographic and temporal context from a single reintroduction event
