The proportion of Soricomorpha blood meals was significantly higher in EXTF than in PATF (15.2 vs 4.3%, respectively; χ 2 = 5.03, df = 1, P = 0.014), while the opposite was true for Passeriformes (PATF: 22.3% and EXTF: 9.6%; χ 2 = 4.29, df = 1, P = 0.024) and, at the limit of significance, for Carnivora (PATF: 37.2% and EXTF: 22.8%, respectively; χ 2 = 2.99, df = 1, P = 0.063), as presented in Fig. 2 .
