| Description
| - Seed predators may play a particularly important role in tropical rain forests as a highly specialized guild of herbivores that can destroy a large proportion of seed crops, thus influencing the population dynamics of individual plant species as well as overall plant diversity. Therefore, this study examines the abundance, species richness and host specificity of frugivorous weevils on a phylogenetically diverse sample of plants in the lowland rain forest of Papua New Guinea, testing two key prerequisites, that they are host specific and cause significant seed mortality, for them to be a potentially important mortality factor in maintaining plant diversity in tropical forests. Further, we test the hypothesis that seed-eating species exhibit higher host specificity than flesh-eating species, responding thus to the more specialized plant defences of seeds. We studied community of frugivorous weevils by quantitative rearing of 57 weevil species represented by 10 485 individuals from 326 woody plant species in lowland rain forest in Papua New Guinea. In total, we collected 4268 samples weighing 3556.8 kg from 531 woody plant species representing 84 families. This included 326 plant species from 58 families sampled by at least50fruits and weighing at least1kg in aggregate per plant species for a total mass of 2758.8 kg, which was further analysed.
