Patterns of daily flight activity in onitine dung beetles (Scarabaeinae: Onitini)
Oecologia, 1995Different species of African dung beetles emerge from the soil at characteristic times of the day to fly and colonize the freshly-deposited dung of mammalian herbivores. Onitine dung beetles in their natural habitat displayed one of five distinctive daily flight behaviours: dusk crepuscular (Onitis alexis Klug, O. caffer Boheman, O.

Observations on Burrowing Behavior by Panamanian Scarabaeinae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)
The Coleopterists Bulletin, 2009Abstract On Barro Colorado Island, Panama, a series of field observations were conducted to evaluate the role of burrower species of Scarabaeinae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) in the removal of dung. Using tapir dung placed on the soil surface, three species were observed during the diurnal period, five other species were observed in the ...

Evolutionary patterns of hind wing morphology in dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae)
Arthropod Structure & Development, 2012The shape of wings can be a good predictor of adaptations to different selective pressures and the value of wing features in taxonomy and phylogeny has long been recognized. In our investigation of the hind wing evolution of dung beetles (Scarabaeinae) we use geometric morphometrics combined with a cladistic approach.
