Comparison of fecal phytoestrogen compositions between southern white rhinoceros (SWR) and greater one-horned rhinoceros (GOHR). (A) Nonmetric multidimensional scaling (nMDS) analysis displaying overall composition of fecal phytoestrogens detected by mass spectrometry based on Bray-Curtis distances (PERMANOVA, P > 0.05; stress, 0.13). (B to D) Mean ± SE analyte concentrations in parts per billion (ppb) of (B) isoflavones, (C) lignans, and (D) coumestans for both SWR and GOHR and their diet. *, significantly different concentrations of fecal analytes (Welch’s t test, P < 0.05). FM, formononetin; DZ, daidzein; EQ, equol; GN, genistein; PEP, 4′-ethylphenol; ED, enterodiol; EL, enterolactone; MOC, methoxycoumestrol; CO, coumestrol.
