The outcome of restoration plantings depends on the selection of plant species and their traits. Regeneration could be facilitated and diversified by attracting native seed dispersers into the sites to be restored. To provide a basis for the selection of plant species that Lemur food plantscould attract lemurs, the main seed dispersers in Madagascar, I compiled a list of known lemur food plants (LFP). A literature search revealed 204 data sources from 64 study sites on the exploitation of plants by 56 free‐ranging lemur species. I aggregated the information, updated the taxonomy, and included further aspects, such as plant origin and life form, which may be of relevance for restoration. Lemur species exploited mainly fruits and leaves of 1,026 plant species (9.14% of all vascular plant species present in Madagascar), from 599 genera and 147 families. The data revealed many promising aspects for restoration, such as integrating the 10 most important LFP that are also used by people. The integration of LFP would increase the value of restoration areas for both animals and humans. Despite some limitations, the assembled database can provide assistance and guidance in the selection of plant species for restoration programs, whereby facilitating future regeneration may be accomplished passively through lemur seed dispersal.

狐猴食用植物作为马达加斯加森林恢复的选择

恢复种植的结果取决于植物种类及其性状的选择。通过将天然种子分散剂吸引到要恢复的地方,可以促进再生并使其多样化。为了为选择狐猴食用植物可以吸引狐猴(马达加斯加的主要种子传播者)的植物种类提供基础,我编写了一份已知的狐猴食用植物(LFP)清单。文献搜索显示来自64个研究站点的204个数据源,涉及56种自由放养的狐猴物种对植物的利用。我汇总了这些信息,更新了分类法,并包括了其他方面,例如植物起源和生命形式,这可能与恢复有关。狐猴物种主要利用1,026种植物的果实和叶子(占马达加斯加所有维管植物的9.14%),来自599属和147个家庭。数据揭示了许多有希望恢复的方面,例如整合了人们也使用的10个最重要的LFP。LFP的整合将增加动物和人类修复区的价值。尽管有一些局限性,组装后的数据库仍可以为恢复计划的植物物种选择提供帮助和指导,从而可以通过狐猴种子的扩散而被动地完成将来的再生。
