Preliminary study of rodents using pellets of predatory birds in Iran [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Animal Biosystematics, 2014
Predatory birds feed mainly on small mammals. They usually swallow their prey and after digesting, the indigestible fur, bones and teeth are regurgitated as compact pellets. The investigation of pellet is an extremely valuable tool for mammalogists.
