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.

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Intra‐ and interspecific interactions may structure complex competitive scenarios in which the arrival time at a resource may play a key role in determining how individuals and populations are maintained. The speed and efficiency by which the dung beetles locate and colonise dung pads, which comprise an ephemeral and randomly distributed ...

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 ...

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,

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 ...

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.

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
