^aFecal samples were collected in this study for each of 12 individual adult female hyenas. Also shown is other information about each individual (age, hyena ID, matriline, and rank) as well as the years the samples were collected. For each of four matrilines (M1 to M4), there were samples from three generations (M, mother; D, daughter; G, granddaughter). See Table S1 for a breakdown of samples by year for each individual hyena.
