Table 3. Species occurring on only sheep or hare dung, or common to both, in seven pairs of samples.
Species especially characteristic of lagomorph dung are in bold.
0.40 respectively, were highly significant-
ly different from 1.0 (F = 19.8 (Jaccard);
12.8 (Sørensen), d.f. = 6), the value
which would indicate complete similarity
of the mycobiotas of the two substrates.
Of all species from the paired samples, 20
were common to both sheep and hare, 11
were recorded only from hare, and 21 only
from sheep (Table 3). Of the species on
hare, some at least (Table 3) are identified
as being particularly characteristic of lago-
morph droppings, both from the literature
and from a database of records from 768
other samples, excluding those collected
in the Faroe Islands, which included 81
from hare and 230 from rabbit. Since the
animals were feeding in the same area,
and ingesting the same inoculum of copro-
