Effect of Chemical Pollution and Parasitism on Heat Tolerance in Dung Beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae)

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2020
Ecosystem services provided by insects are threatened by recent increasing global temperatures, particularly in the tropics, where insects live close to their thermal limits.

Patterns of alimentary resource use by dung beetles in introduced Brazilian pastures: Cattle versus sheep dung

Entomological Science, 2020
Dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) perform essential ecological functions in pastures, such as dung removal, nutrient recycling and parasite control. However, the patterns of alimentary use by dung beetles in introduced Brazilian pastures are poorly

Patch and landscape effects on forest-dependent dung beetles are masked by matrix-tolerant dung beetles in a mountaintop rainforest archipelago.

Science of the Total Environment, 2019
Naturally fragmented landscapes provide suitable scenarios through which to investigate patch and landscape effects on biodiversity patterns in areas that are isolated from the disturbances usually associated with human-made fragments.

Dung exploitation by the dung beetle Typhaeus typhoeus (Col., Geotrupidae)

Oecologia, 1987
This paper deals with the functional aspects of the exploitation of dung by the dung beetle Typhaeus typhoeus. In horizontal brood chambers of a nest in the soil these beetles make "dung sausages" chiefly from rabbit droppings, as a food source for the larvae.

Neuroarchitecture of the dung beetle central complex

Journal of Comparative Neurology, 2018
AbstractDespite their tiny brains, insects show impressive abilities when navigating over short distances during path integration or during migration over thousands of kilometers across entire continents. Celestial compass cues often play an important role as references during navigation.

Respiratory airflow in a wingless dung beetle

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2002
SUMMARYThe sealed subelytral cavity of many flightless beetle species is widely acknowledged to be an adaptation to water saving in arid-habitat species. However, this hypothesis relies on the acceptance of two largely untested assumptions: (i) that the movement of respiratory gases is unidirectional from anterior to posterior and (ii) that the ...

Dung beetles can tunnel into highly compacted soils from reclaimed mined sites in eMalahleni, South Africa

Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment. Applied Soil Ecology, 2019
Dung beetles provide a multitude of ecosystem services that could be used to improve post-mining land use options. Highly compacted soils are a feature of reclaimed mine sites and may pose a significant challenge to tunnelling dung beetles.
