* The frequency (%) is not reported when samples of a dung type are less than five. ° Records from dung in the natural state, in normal type. Records from dung in damp chambers
and frequency (%), in bold type. ** The frequency (%) of a genus as whole, on each dung type in damp chamber, results from the ratio between the total number of occurrences of
that genus and the number of dung samples [ ]. The total occurrence of a genus does not result from a simple addition of occurrences of all species belonging to it, because the genus
as whole must be regarded as occurring only once in one sample even if two species, or more, occur in that sample.
