Spatial patterns of movement of dung beetle species in a tropical forest suggest a new trap spacing for dung beetle biodiversity studies. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 A primary goal of community ecologists is to understand the processes underlying the spatiotemporal patterns of species distribution. Understanding the dispersal process is of great interest in ecology because it is related to several mechanisms driving ...

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 12, December 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Southern Africa harbours a diverse array of dung beetles (Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae), with many species endemic to the region. Despite this diversity, the historical drivers of their evolution remain largely unexplored. This study investigates the evolutionary history of the flightless dung beetle genus Macroderes, testing its monophyly ...

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 10, Page 1584-1599, December 2025.ABSTRACT The interactions between insects and angiosperms date back to millions of years ago. Among the groups of pollinating animals, it is estimated that insects are responsible for pollinating more than 70% of angiosperms. Coleoptera is one of the most studied insect groups for pollination.

Unveiling Dispersal Strength on a Metacommunity of Dung Beetles in a Heterogeneous Landscape
Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 11, November 2025.Our study examines the dispersal dynamics of dung beetles across heterogeneous landscapes, shedding light on their habitat preferences and community structure. We identified patterns of dispersal and habitat association across forest, woodland and grassland habitats.

Escarabajos coprófagos (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae) de la Orinoquía colombiana
Biota Colombiana, 2009 The colombian Orinoco basin has registered 105 dung beetle species. Our study added 25 new records to the list of colombian dung beetles published in 2001. These new records are mainly attributed to the field expeditions of the Alexander von Humboldt Institute (IAvH) completed in the last few years to El Tuparro Natural National Park and the Mataven ...

Morphology and terminology of dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) male genitalia [PDF]
Zootaxa, 2013 The external and internal male genitalia of 327 species of 11 tribes of the subfamily Scarabaeinae, including species of Deltochilini, Scarabaeini, Gymnopleurini, Ateuchini, and Coprini, among others, were examined. Descriptions of the variations in the genital segment, the aedeagus, the internal sac, and its sclerites and raspules are presented.
