The dung beetle dance: an orientation behaviour? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 An interesting feature of dung beetle behaviour is that once they have formed a piece of dung into a ball, they roll it along a straight path away from the dung pile.

Local and regional ecological morphology of dung beetle assemblages across four biogeographic regions [PDF]
, 2011 Aim Niche partitioning within species assemblages is thought to influence species packing and/or total niche space occupied. The evolution of dung beetles (Scarabaeinae) is likely to have been strongly influenced by inter-specific competition, leading to
