Anemomenotatic orientation in beetles and scorpions [PDF]
, 1972 Orientation, by beetles and scorpions, according to wind direction and force are analyzed. Major efforts were made to determine: (1) which physical qualities of the air current influence anemomenotaxis, (2) which physiological mechanism is responsible ...

ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONING AND DUNG BEETLES [PDF]
The Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America, 2013 A major challenge of ecological research is to assess the functional consequences of species richness loss over time and space in global biodiversity hotspots, where extinctions are happening at an unprecedented rate. In this study we propose a conceptual model that incorporates body size as a critical aspect of community responses to environmental ...
