Chemical parameters of decomposing dung in tropical forest as indicators of feeding behaviour of large herbivores: A step beyond classical stoichiometry

[Display omitted] •Biomarkers, especially lignin differentiate dung of different herbivores, forest types and seasons.•Gaur and elephant dung show contrasting composition.•After 28 days of field exposure, chemical composition of dung from different herbivores converges.•Sugars and analytical pyrolys...
