The study explores the relationship between fruit-eating birds and mammals and the fleshy-fruit species they consume in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. It documents 56 species of fruit resources, highlighting key findings such as the role of figs as a vital food source for species like the Coppersmith Barbet and fruit bats. The research identifies fruit traits that limit consumption, monitors fruiting seasons in relation to rainfall, and emphasizes the need for conservation efforts, particularly for figs and other critical flora, due to the unpredictable availability of fleshy fruits.
