Beyond Dung: Attractiveness of Native and Exotic Fruits to Dung Beetles in the Brazilian Savanna

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Dietary breadth enhances animal resilience in environments where resources are unpredictable or declining, enabling species to exploit alternative food sources when primary ones are scarce. In dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae), frugivory is an increasingly recognised foraging strategy, particularly in tropical regions experiencing ...

Ultraconserved elements support a new tribal‐level classification for Australasian endemic dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae)

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
Phylogenomic data obtained through sequencing ultraconserved elements are used to examine tribal classification in the subfamily Scarabaeinae with the aim of stabilizing classification of 32 unplaced Australasian genera. Phylogenies were generated from a 245,546 base pair alignment comprised of 1092 loci that included terminals representing 160 species

How Do Morphological Traits and Abundance Reflect the Effects of Land Use Change in a Seasonal Floodable Savannah? A Dung Beetle Case in the Brazilian Pantanal

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 12, Page 1268-1277, December 2025.
We investigated the effects of land‐use change on the abundance and morphological traits (body mass, pronotum ratios, protibial size, elytra ratio, and pronotum–abdomen proportion) of two dung beetle species (Dichotomius bos and D. nisus) in the Brazilian Pantanal.
