Sex Ratio Modulates Reproductive Output and Dung Burying Behavior in Dung Beetle <i>Gymnopleurus sturmi</i> (Macleay, 1821) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae). [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study examines the sex‐specific roles and the impact of sex ratios on dung ball production and offspring emergence in the dung beetle species Gymnopleurus sturmi. It finds that both males and females can produce dung balls, with females producing the most when alone, while male presence increases offspring emergence rates.

Optimising Bait for Pitfall Trapping of Amazonian Dung Beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae)
PLoS ONE, 2013 The accurate sampling of communities is vital to any investigation of ecological processes and biodiversity. Dung beetles have emerged as a widely used focal taxon in environmental studies and can be sampled quickly and inexpensively using baited pitfalls. Although there is now a wealth of available data on dung beetle communities from around the world,

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
