摘要: The accuracy of five different methods used in spraint analysis for extimating prey proportions is tested through a feeding experiment with three otters captivity. Estimated are copared to the actual diet otters. results analysing 362 spraints and time budget indicated score-bulk estimate be most appropriate method estimating it concluded that dietary studies using can compared broad outlines. relatins between confirmed 978 spriaints, collected field.
