STRUCTURE OF A SCARABAEINAE COMMUNITY: A NUMERICAL-BEHAVIOURAL STUDY (COLEOPTERA: SCARABAEINAE)

ACTA ZOOLÓGICA MEXICANA (N.S.), 1984
The structure of a Scarabaeinae community in the tropical mountains of México is studied using trophic and reproductiva characters, which were analyzed by multivariate methods (cluster and ordination analysis). The results suggest that spatial-temporal characters play an important role ¡n structuring the community.

Altitudinal gradient in species richness and composition of dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) in an eastern Euro-Mediterranean locality: Functional, seasonal and habitat influences

European Journal of Entomology, 2019
The altitudinal gradient in diversity of dung beetles (Scarabaeidae) was studied in a Mediterranean mountain chain located in Central Anatolia to (i) determine if there are altitudinal differences between the main taxonomic groups, (ii) describe the ...

Metagenomics reveals that dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae) broadly feed on reptile dung. Did they also feed on that of dinosaurs?

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
The origin of the dung-feeding habits in dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae) is debatable. According to traditional views, the evolution of dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae) and their feeding habits are largely attributed to mammal dung.

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

Frontiers 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
