If Dung Beetles (Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) Arose in Association with Dinosaurs, Did They Also Suffer a Mass Co-Extinction at the K-Pg Boundary? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The evolutionary success of beetles and numerous other terrestrial insects is generally attributed to co-radiation with flowering plants but most studies have focused on herbivorous or pollinating insects.

Microbiome‐mediated immunity: Limited support from the gazelle dung beetle
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Digitonthophagus gazella rely on a maternally inherited microbiome passed across generations via a maternal faecal pellet called the pedestal. We experimentally manipulated the presence of the pedestal, providing it to some individuals while withholding it from others to determine how pedestal microbiota may affect beetle immune potential.

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 9, September 2026.ABSTRACT Resource availability and predictability can shape trophic organization in ecological communities. In livestock pastures, cattle dung represents a highly abundant and predictable trophic subsidy for dung beetles, potentially promoting generalist foraging strategies. Here, we test how cattle exclusion affects trophic organization in dung beetle

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.We investigated Singapore's dung beetle communities using multiple trapping methods in 12 sites with varying degrees of urbanization. Our results show a decline in dung beetle richness and diversity, with changes in community composition and species turnover with increasing urbanization.
