Schematic of the processes for deriving different dietary measures from analysis of carnivore/insectivore/omnivore faecal samples. Grey shading indicates laboratory processes; white boxes indicate data interpretation to derive Frequency of Occurrence (FOO), prey count or biomass estimates. Bold lined boxes indicate most common dietary indices reported from faecal contents. Example references: [1] Calver and Wooller (1982), Fairley et al.
