Zootaxa, 2017 At risk of committing entomological heresy, we question the identity of a dung-burying beetle species that originates from Africa and has been introduced first into Hawaii and subsequently to Australasia, North America, and South America (Fincher 1986; Edwards 2007; Noriega et al.

How to Identify Priority Sites for Invasive Alien Species Policy and Management
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 1, January 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Identifying priority species and introduction pathways has long been a goal of national and international policy for reducing and mitigating the impacts of invasive alien species (IAS). Although identifying priority sites for invasion management is included within Target 6 of the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, methods for ...

Eye development influences horn size but not patterning in horned beetles
Evolution &Development, Volume 26, Issue 5, September 2024.We manipulated the function of canonical eye patterning genes to assess the role of the visual system in the development of novel cephalic horns in onthophagine beetles. Knockdowns altered neither position nor shape of horns, but individuals with reduced compound eyes developed longer horns relative to their body size. Abstract Understanding the origin

Restoration Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 4, May 2024.With less than half of the world's tropical forests remaining, ecological restoration is urgently needed to halt biodiversity loss. However, the efficacy of different active reforestation methods remains largely untested particularly with respect to the recovery of fauna during the early years of restoration. Here, we present the results of a long‐term

Evidence of drastic loss of dung beetle diversity after 25 years in an introduced Brazilian pasture
Austral Ecology, Volume 49, Issue 4, April 2024.Tunneller dung beetles markedly decreased its diversity throughout time. Medium‐ and larger‐bodied species were the most sensitive species. Abstract In tropical forest ecosystems, pastures are considered a limiting environment for dung beetles, with long‐term negative effects on the diversity of this group.
