At each site, (i) necropsy and intestine examination was undertaken on a sample of shot foxes (total number of foxes, 222), and (ii) fox faeces were collected in the field along road verges, and scored for degradation status (total number of faeces, 625).

Relationships between frequency of occurrence and between quantity of seed deposition (either in number of faeces or seeds per km), and plant abundance (density or cover) at the nine sampling sites were tested by the Spearman's rank correlation analyses.

We detected a general trend towards spatial concordance between the local abundance of fleshy-fruited plants and seed deposition at the three levels considered (i.e. frequency of occurrence, number of faeces and number of seeds per km) for all wild species (rs≥0.398; Table 3).

Out of the total number of faeces collected, 37% were of red fox, 35% of pine and stone martens (pooled together due to difficulties in identifying each species), 11% of badger and 1% of other species (genet, weasel, stoat, wolf or brown bear).

Fig. 1 is a choroplethic map showing the total number of faeces counted along each 1 km transect of each sub-area.

The level of inhibition of defecation caused by extracts was calculated relative to the control using the following relationship: Inhibition of defecation  = [ NDC - NDT /NDC] × 100; where NDC = mean number of diarrhoeic faeces of the control group; NDT = mean number of diarrhoeic faeces of the treated group.

a) Analysis of the spatial variability of the number of canine faeces and of the association with human population density (dependent variable: faeces counts; statistical model: negative binomial and Gaussian random effects regression).

The total number of canine faeces counted was 5,861 (Median = 25.0; Minimum = 0, Maximum = 215).

The mean number of diarrhoeic faeces pooled by the control group was considered as 100%.

There was no association between positivity to parasitic elements and the number of canine faeces.
