Dung beetle community composition affects dung turnover in subtropical US grasslands
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 An important service in many ecosystems is the turnover and degradation of dung deposited by cattle. Dung beetles are the primary group of insects responsible for dung turnover, and factors affecting their abundance and distribution thus impact dung ...

Are yellow dung flies domesticated cow dung specialists? [PDF]
Alpine Entomology, 2023 The theory of niche differentiation implies some extent of specialization of species with regard to key resources, notably food. Coprophagous (dung-eating) insect larvae play a critical role in the decomposition of livestock dung in modern and ...
