A seeds of the three most frequent plant species in carnivore scats (alien species in bold) B qualitative differentiation of seed assemblages from carnivore scats in relation to fruiting period, clearly separated into two assemblages of seeds of alien plants (late fruiting season) and native plants (early fruiting season). Stress = 0.002. Abbreviations of species: C. avi = Cerasus avium, F. ves = Fragaria vesca, F. aln = Frangula alnus, P. cer = Prunus cerasifera, P.dom = Prunus domestica, P.pad = Prunus padus, P. ser = Prunus serotina, Pyrus = Pyrus sp., Rubus = Rubus sp., S. auc = Sorbus aucuparia, V. myr = Vaccinium myrtillus, V. vin = Vitis vinifera.
