Jurnal Sylva Lestari, 2020 Bioindicator of the level of destruction of tropical forests and habitats can be seen from the presence of dung beetle. Dung beetle plays an important role in regulating the function of ecosystems. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of

Diversity, 2023 During their feeding process, dung beetles perform a series of ecosystem functions that provide valuable ecosystem services, such as soil fertilization, improvement of soil properties, plant growth enhancement, and biological pest control.

Forest habitat parameters influence abundance and diversity of cadaver-visiting dung beetles in Central Europe [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Dung beetles provide crucial ecosystem services and serve as model organisms for various behavioural, ecological and evolutionary studies. However, dung beetles have received little attention as consumers of large cadavers.

Electronics, 2023 As the underwater environment is complex, the existence of obstacles will produce a certain collision interference to underwater robot operations, which causes the overall path planning and time costs to increase. In this paper, we propose a Tent chaotic

Current Biology, 2018 What do a burly rower, a backstroke swimmer and a hard-working South African dung beetle all have in common? The answer is: they all benefit from moving along a straight path, and do so moving backwards. This, however, is where the similarity ends. While the rower has solved this navigational challenge by handing the task of steering to the coxswain ...

Diversity, 2023 The transformation of forests into agricultural and livestock systems negatively affects the ecological dynamics and the ecosystem services provided by different groups of insects, including dung beetles, which stand out for their importance in recycling

A trait‐based framework for dung beetle functional ecology
Journal of Animal Ecology, 2022 Traits are key for understanding the environmental responses and ecological roles of organisms. Trait approaches to functional ecology are well established for plants, whereas consistent frameworks for animal groups are less developed.

Scientific Reports, 2023 This study evaluated the role of dung beetle species alone or associated under different species on nitrous oxide (N2O) emission, ammonia volatilization, and the performance of pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.)].

Human perturbations reduce dung beetle diversity and dung removal ecosystem function
Biotropica, 2021 Biodiversity drives ecological functioning, ultimately providing ecosystem services. Ecosystem processes are favored by greater functional diversity, particularly when groups of functionally different species interact synergistically.

Greenhouse gas emissions from dung pats vary with dung beetle species and with assemblage composition. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Cattle farming is a major source of greenhouse gases (GHGs). Recent research suggests that GHG fluxes from dung pats could be affected by biotic interactions involving dung beetles.
