Diversity and distribution patterns of Ecuador’s dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae)

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
IntroductionEcuador harbors an astounding number of ecosystems and species. However, anthropogenic land-use changes are the primary drivers of biodiversity loss in major taxonomic groups, especially insects. Among them, the Scarabaeinae subfamily containing dung beetles, is an excellent taxon for studying taxonomic and functional diversity, as they are

Evolution of the Scarabaeini (Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae)

Systematic Entomology, 2004
Abstract.  A phylogenetic analysis of the Scarabaeini, based on 244 morphological characters, including 154 multistate and three biological characters, is presented. Tree topologies generated from unweighted data and some weighted algorithms are similar and support only two clades in the tribe representing the ...

A molecular phylogenetic analysis of the Scarabaeinae (dung beetles)

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2007
The dung beetles (Scarabaeinae) include ca. 5000 species and exhibit a diverse array of morphologies and behaviors. This variation presumably reflects the adaptation to a diversity of food types and the different strategies used to avoid competition for vertebrate dung, which is the primary breeding environment for most species.

Diversity and distribution of Phanaeini (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) in Mexico

Zootaxa, 2017
In this study, we systematized available distribution data, obtained from biological databases and relevant literature, for Mexican species belonging to the tribe Phanaeini. The main objectives were to provide an overall description of the distribution records in biological collections, to detect potential sampling biases, to describe the seasonality ...

INTRODUCED SCARABAEINAE (=COPRINAE) (COLEOPTERA) IN NEW ZEALAND

New Zealand Entomologist, 1973
Two Australian species of Onthophagus Latreille, O. pranulatus Boheman and O. posticus Erichson have long been recognised as present in New Zealand. More recently attempts were made to introduce Copris incertus Say from Western Samoa and reported here for the first time are records of Epirinus aeneus Wied., from the Cape region of South Africa ...

On the identity of Onthophagus columbianus Boucomont, 1932 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae)

Zootaxa, 2016
Onthophagus columbianus Boucomont, 1932 is a new case of transcontinental mislabeling within the genus. The species name is here considered to be new synonym under the Madagascan Onthophagus elegans Klug, 1832. Historical notes, lectotype designations and illustrations of the primary type specimens of both species are provided.
