Amongst avian frugivores, large-bodied frugivores are expected
to be especially vulnerable to habitat modifications resulting from
selective logging (Gray et al., 2006; Thiollay, 1999). Their diet depends
primarily on large-seeded fruit, and is relatively inflexible
(Howe and Smallwood, 1982). The loss of large-bodied avian frugivores
from a selectively logged forest can have a disproportionate
impact on the recruitment of large-seeded tree species that depend
on them as vectors for seed dispersal. As a consequence, smallseeded
biotically-dispersed species may have an advantage over
