Abstract

We tested major assumptions involved in scat identification and analysis in Australia. Scats from domestic dogs with controlled diets were analysed. We suggest that current methods for scat identification are unreliable. This may be leading to inaccurate reports of feeding behavior and intraspecific predation.
