Origin and diversification of dung beetles in Madagascar [PDF]

, 2011
Madagascar has a rich fauna of dung beetles (Scarabaeinae and Aphodiinae) with almost 300 species described to date. Like most other taxa in Madagascar, dung beetles exhibit an exceptionally high level of endemism (96% of the species). Here,we review the

Rainfall shapes the physiological condition, but not the body size, of an introduced dung beetle in Brazilian pastures

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Understanding rainfall‐driven physiological shifts in dung beetles is crucial to predict how climate change may affect the fitness and persistence of key insect species in tropical pastures. We compared body size, dry, lipid and muscle masses of Digitonthophagus gazella collected during dry and rainy seasons in Brazilian pastures to assess the effects ...

Towards red listing understudied tropical insects: A case study of the dung beetles of Sabah, Malaysian Borneo

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We performed an IUCN Red List assessment for 159 dung beetle species from Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. Due to the lack of population demographic data, only Criterion B (i.e. geographic range) could be applied. Our findings show that the IUCN Red List Criteria can be applied to insect species based solely on occurrence data but highlight the importance of ...

Can Widely Used Methods Be Turned Into eDNA Samplers for Ground‐Dwelling Arthropods? Insights From Two Pilot Studies in West European Salt Marshes

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 2, Page 164-177, February 2026.
This study evaluates bulk and eDNA metabarcoding via suction sampling and modified pitfall traps to monitor salt marsh arthropods. Suction sampling excelled in detecting overlooked taxa, whereas pitfalls were effective for Scarabaeinae. Results underscore the importance of adapting protocols to specific taxa and habitats and highlight the effects of ...

Chromosomal organization of the 18S and 5S rRNAs and histone H3 genes in Scarabaeinae coleopterans: insights into the evolutionary dynamics of multigene families and heterochromatin

BMC Genetics, 2011
Background Scarabaeinae beetles show a high level of macro-chromosomal variability, although the karyotypic organization of heterochromatin and multigene families (rDNAs and histone genes) is poorly understood in this group.

The role of natural savanna in maintaining dung beetle diversity and their ecosystem services in agricultural landscapes in the Brazilian Cerrado

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
Low‐intensity management agriculture, such as organic agriculture, can benefit landscape permeability to key insects that provide ecosystem services to agriculture. Maintenance of natural savanna patches can increase the pool of species, benefiting local populations and the provision of their ecosystem services in agricultural landscapes.

Diversity of Scarabaeinae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) in an urban fragment of Cerrado in Central Brazil

European Journal of Entomology, 2020
The diversity of dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) is affected by urbanization, habitat fragmentation and disappearance of native mammals, which result in changes in the quality and availability of food, and resources for nesting.
