Dietary Specialisation Shapes Gut Bacterial Diversity in Dung Beetles: Insights From Coprophagy to Millipede Carnivory. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepDung beetles feed on various food sources that are rich in microbial life. Here, we describe how the diets of seven dung beetle species, specialising in coprophagy, necrophagy, detritophagy, fungivory and carnivory influence their gut bacterial structure and diversity.

Turnover-Dominated β-Diversity and Its Temperature and Trophic Drivers of Scarabaeoidea Assemblages Along an Elevational Gradient in a Tropical Island Rainforest in China. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAn important issue with diversity patterns along elevational gradients in mountain ecosystems is that far few studies have incorporated abundance and top‐down effects‐which may covary with environmental gradients‐when inferring the mechanisms structuring insect communities. Here, we tested the effects of potential drivers (temperature, humidity, litter

Evolutionary constraints in hind wing shape in Chinese dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 This study examines the evolution hindwing shape in Chinese dung beetle species using morphometric and phylogenetic analyses. Previous studies have analyzed the evolution of wing shape within a single or very few species, or by comparing only a few wing ...
