True dung beetles are a speciose group of ecosystem engineers that play key roles as detritivores in natural and agricultural landscapes. Scarabaeine beetles show strong thermal plasticity and there is increasing evidence of rapid evolutionary divergence in response to temperature across ecological and evolutionary timescales, with likely consequences ...

The mitochondrial DNA of Dichotomius (Luederwaldtinia) schiffleri was characterized and its phylogenetic position was reconstructed in Scarabaeoidea. This mitogenome presented 14,802 bp-long, richness in AT of 77.4% and 37 genes, including 13 protein ...

This study evaluates bulk and eDNA metabarcoding via suction sampling and modified pitfall traps to monitor salt marsh arthropods. Suction sampling excelled in detecting overlooked taxa, whereas pitfalls were effective for Scarabaeinae. Results underscore the importance of adapting protocols to specific taxa and habitats and highlight the effects of ...

Low‐intensity management agriculture, such as organic agriculture, can benefit landscape permeability to key insects that provide ecosystem services to agriculture. Maintenance of natural savanna patches can increase the pool of species, benefiting local populations and the provision of their ecosystem services in agricultural landscapes.

ABSTRACT The interactions between insects and angiosperms date back to millions of years ago. Among the groups of pollinating animals, it is estimated that insects are responsible for pollinating more than 70% of angiosperms. Coleoptera is one of the most studied insect groups for pollination.

A new species of the genus Neagolius W. Koshantschikov, 1912 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) from Armenia [PDF]
A new species Neagolius aragatsi sp. n. is described from Aragats Mt. (Armenia). The new species differs from the widespread in the Caucasus N. abchazicus by the structure of modified front spur in male and bicolor elytra.

A taste for dung: food preferences of dung beetles uncovered
Dung beetles have a generalist diet although they can develop preferences for specific excrements, such as elephant dung. Buffalo and wild boar dungs were broadly accepted among dung beetle species. In contrast, goat excrement was the least preferred. Abstract Insects represent the most megadiverse animal group, having evolved a wide range of feeding ...

Identification guide to the Aphodiinae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) of Brazil
An identification guide for the Aphodiinae of Brazil is provided. Aphodiinae are a subfamily of Scarabaeidae comprising small and saprophagous beetles normally recognizable by the elongated body, clypeus covering the mouth parts and metatibiae with two ...
