Faecal pellet
store_cond
Mats were placed under koalas in trees and checked at intervals of no more than four hours throughout the day. Fresh faecal pellets were counted and collected from mats, placed into zip-lock bags and placed on ice until they could be transferred, within 2 hours, into a -20°C freezer for storage. The samples were stored at -20°C for no longer than 6 months before DNA was extracted. The remaining faecal sample was then freeze dried for diet analysis.
