Abstract
The objective of the study reported herein was to document the myxomycetes (slime molds) associated with bison dung and cow dung in the temperate prairies of North Dakota. We hypothesized that there is a significant difference between the myxomycetes on bison dung and cow dung. The data were analyzed for any significant statistical differences between the two types of dung, using jmp statistical software. We concluded that there was a significant difference between bison dung and cow dung, with statistical p-value <0.0001*; hence, we rejected the null hypothesis. Reciprocal Simpson’s diversity indices for bison dung and cow dung were 3.01 and 3.03, respectively. The pH recorded for dung samples ranged between 6.48 and 7.41, with the majority of species associated with weak acidic-weak basic conditions.
