  abstract = {{M}utualistic interactions between fruiting plants and frugivorous animals are shaped by interaction-relevant functional traits. {H}owever, it is unclear whether 'trait matching' underlies broad-scale relationships in plant and frugivore species and their functional diversity. {W}e integrated novel trait data and global occurrences for c. 1900 species in a major tropical plant family ({A}nnonaceae) with data for 7607 bird and mammal species, including 1418 frugivores, alongside data on the abiotic environment. {W}e applied structural equation models to evaluate the direct and indirect drivers of global and continental variation in frugivory-related functional diversity in {A}nnonaceae, and assessed frugivory-exclusive drivers through comparisons with non-frugivores. {W}e show that global variation in {A}nnonaceae frugivory-related functional diversity is influenced by species richness ({SR}ic) and trait matching with co-occurring frugivorous mammals. {F}rugivorous birds and mammals indirectly influenced {A}nnonaceae functional diversity at continental scales by affecting {A}nnonaceae {SR}ic. {W}e found that climate, elevation, and seed dispersers jointly shaped {A}nnonaceae diversity globally. {O}ur results suggest that seed dispersal interactions with mammals are particularly important for shaping global variation in {A}nnonaceae diversity, possibly through mutualistic co-evolutionary dynamics. {H}owever, distinct effects of frugivores on {A}nnonaceae diversity across biogeographical realms suggest that biogeography modulates how mutualistic interactions promote diversity.},
