Heatmap of the frequency of occurrence of plant and lichen genera composing the caribou diet based on the sequencing of the plant and fungal ITS2 regions from fecal DNA, by location and sex. Only the 15 most frequently detected plants and lichens genera detected across all samples were included in the analysis. Bog = The Bog (MB), Char = Charron Lake (MB), CSK = Central Saskatchewan (SK), Flin = Flin Flon (SK), Nao = Naosap-Reed (MB), Ron = La Ronge (SK) and Wab = Wabowden (MB). F = Female, M = Male.
