| Title | Differential passage rates of prey components through the gut of serval Felis serval and black-backed jackal Canis mesomelas | |
| Creator | Bowland, J.M. Rowland, A.E. | |
| Description | Feeding trials conducted on Felis serval and Canis mesomelas showed that the same prey item may appear in up to seven scats (mean=2.8, n=7). The basic assumption that prey remains of the same species in different scats represent different individuals is invalid. Therefore over-estimation of some prey species relative to others in the diet of carnivores studied can occur. | |
