Researchers have used dung records to create high-resolution maps of herbivore distribution around the world. Their study, published in Nature Food, reveals a strong positive relationship between dung presence and grazing pressure, meaning the amount of dung found in a particular location could help us understand approximately how many herbivores live there.

Dung data: manure can help to improve global maps of herbivore distrib

Researchers from various global institutions have collaborated on a groundbreaking study that unveils critical insights into herbivore distribution through dung analysis. The study, published in the prestigious journal Nature Food, provides a novel approach to estimating the presence of herbivores in dryland ecosystems, which represent nearly 40% of the world’s terrestrial surface. By leveraging dung records as a reliable indicator of herbivore …
