They are used as a form of territorial marker. A range of animals are known to use them including steenbok,〔Cohen, Michael. 1976. The Steenbok: A neglected species. ''Custos'' (April 1976): 23–26.〕 hyrax (the dung beetle genus ''Dicranocara'' of the Richtersveld in South western Africa spends its whole lifecycle in close association with hyrax dung middens) and rhinoceros. Other animals such as beetles are attracted to them for a variety of purposes. This can include food as well as a location to find a mate.〔 Dung often contains pollen which means fossilised dung middens can be used to learn about past climates. Paleobotany relies on the fact that each ecosystem is characterised by certain plants, which in turn act as a proxy for climate.〔 〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dung midden」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
