Invasão de áreas de savana intra-amazônicas por Digitonthophagus gazella (Fabricius, 1787) (Insecta: Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) [PDF]
Acta Amazonica, 2008 Neste estudo, foi avaliada a invasão da comunidade de Scarabaeinae detritívoros de uma savana amazônica pela espécie africana Digitonthophagus gazella (Fabricius 1787). O estudo foi realizado nas proximidades da vila de Alter do Chão (2º 31' S e 55º 00' W), localizada a aproximadamente 36 km a sudoeste de Santarém, Pará, Brasil.

Natural Resources, 2017 The invasion process involves overcoming certain barriers with negative effects on the biodiversity and ecosystem function. This is the case of the African dung beetle Digitonthophagus gazella, which was introduced in the United States and other countries in Central and South America to help in dung removal activity. The distribution of D.

Genome evolution and divergence in cis-regulatory architecture is associated with condition-responsive development in horned dung beetles. [PDF]
PLoS GeneticsPhenotypic plasticity is thought to be an important driver of diversification and adaptation to environmental variation, yet the genomic mechanisms mediating plastic trait development and evolution remain poorly understood. The Scarabaeinae, or true dung

Vertically inherited microbiota and environment-modifying behaviors indirectly shape the exaggeration of secondary sexual traits in the gazelle dung beetle. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 Many organisms actively manipulate the environment in ways that have the potential to feed back on their own development, a process referred to as developmental niche construction. We assess whether environmental modifications made by developing dung beetles impact the environment‐sensitive expression of secondary sexual traits.
