Identifying Cervus elaphus DNA in coprolites. (a) Number of reads that display a perfect match to the indicated mitochondrial genomes. (b) Phylogenetic analysis of the Cervidae mitochondrial sequences retrieved from cave hyena coprolites. Tree construction was performed by Bayesian phylogenetic inference using Bovidae sequences for delineating an outgroup. The posterior probability and bootstrap values that support the nodes are indicated for Bayesian phylogenetic inference and maximum-likelihood analysis, respectively. Yellow bars, CC9 coprolite; orange bars, CC8 coprolite.
