Genetic and Phenotypic Divergence in a Dung Beetle 50 Years After Its Introduction to Australia [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionSpecies translocations are increasingly being used in conservation and for biological control. The success of a translocation can be strongly influenced by the evolutionary processes occurring during the early phase of the introduction and the subsequent

The impact of the introduced Digitonthophagus gazella on a native dung beetle community in Brazil during 26 years [PDF]
Biological Invasions, 2017 Following successful establishment in Australia and North America, the South African dung beetle (DB) Digitonthophagus gazella was introduced in Brazil in 1990. We investigated the impact of the exotic species on the native community of 42 native DB species using a unique weekly data set spanning 26 years, including 4 years of pre-invasion data.

Duration of Cattle Ranching Affects Dung Beetle Diversity and Secondary Seed Removal in Tropical Dry Forest Landscapes [PDF]
InsectsCattle ranching is an economic activity responsible for the loss of large extensions of tropical dry forest around the world. Several studies have demonstrated that the use of inadequate practices of this activity in tropical forests (e.g., fire ...
