Escarabajos coprófagos (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) de Colombia [PDF]

Biota Colombiana, 2001
Los escarabajos coprófagos son un gremio bien definido de la familia Scarabaeidae, subfamilia Scarabaeinae, que comparten características morfológicas, ecológicas y de comportamiento particulares (Halffter 1991).

Dietary Specialisation Shapes Gut Bacterial Diversity in Dung Beetles: Insights From Coprophagy to Millipede Carnivory. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
Dung 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.

Prospects for Complete DNA Barcode Coverage of the New Zealand Insect Fauna. [PDF]

J R Soc N Z
The accurate identification of insects supports conservation, biosecurity and ecological monitoring. However, morphological identification is constrained by taxonomic complexity, undescribed diversity, and limited expertise. DNA barcoding can alleviate some of these challenges and complement morphological identification, if reference data are ...

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 Evol
An 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

A review and phylogeny of Scarabaeine dung beetle fossils (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae), with the description of two Canthochilum species from Dominican amber [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
Despite the increasing rate of systematic research on scarabaeine dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae), their fossil record has remained largely unrevised.

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 ...
