Assembly mechanisms of dung beetles in temperate forests and grazing pastures
Scientific Reports, 2020 The role of deterministic and stochastic mechanisms in community assembly is a key question in ecology, but little is known about their relative contribution in dung beetle assemblages.

Assemblages of Dung Beetles Using Cattle Dung in Madagascar [PDF]
African Entomology, 2009 Malagasy dung beetles have evolved with a diverse group of primates (lemurs), the largest extant native herbivores on the island. The two main radiations include the endemic subtribe Helictopleurina (65 species) and the tribe Canthonini with several endemic genera (c.

Multiresistance of Bacteria to Veterinary Antibiotics in Dung and Manure Samples of Farm Animals [PDF]
Учёные записки Казанского университета: Серия Естественные науки, 2016 Antibiotics are used in animal husbandry for treating and preventing diseases and as growth stimulators. Being disposed in the environment with dung and manure, they contribute to the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and resistance genes.

A ‘metaphising’ dung beetle [PDF]
EMBO reports, 2010 Humans and beetles both have a species‐specific Umwelt circumscribed by their sensory equipment. However, Ladislav Kováč argues that humans, unlike beetles, have invented scientific instruments that are able to reach beyond the conceptual borders of our Umwelt

Communities of Dung Beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea) in the Steppe of Mongolia
Mongolian Journal of Biological Sciences, 2021 We studied the community structure of dung beetles in livestock dung within the steppe ecosystem of Mongolia. We found 15 species of dung beetles belonging to three families and representing two functional guilds, namely paracoprids and endocoprids.
