First description of larva of the genus Liatongus Reitter, 1892 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) [PDF]
Кавказский энтомологический бюллетень, 2010 A larva of the represintative of the genus Liatongus Reitter, 1892 (Liatongus minutus (Motschulsky, 1861)) is described and illustrated for the first time. The genus Liatongus is closed to the genus Euoniticellus Janssens, 1953 by the structure of larvae

Global impacts of agricultural and timber plantations on dung beetle biodiversity
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.In vulnerable areas, protecting natural forests can help to reduce biodiversity loss. When economic and social contexts, such as in the Neotropical and Oriental regions, hinder conservation strategies, establishing small‐scale plantations of native, structurally diverse species connected to remaining forests may enhance dung beetle diversity, likely ...

What Goes First? Effects of Starvation on the Body Condition of a Neotropical Dung Beetle
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 4, Page 321-328, April 2026.We investigated how prolonged starvation affects key physiological traits in the dung beetle Dichotomius bos. Prolonged starvation leads to significant reductions in body dry mass and fat reserves, while muscle mass remains unchanged. These findings indicate that dung beetles prioritize the maintenance of locomotor muscles while mobilizing stored ...

Seasonality as a structuring factor of the dung beetle community in burned neotropical savannas
Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 336-345, April 2026.We tested the effects of fire, vegetation cover and seasonality on dung beetle communities, focusing on species richness, composition and co‐occurrence patterns in savannas. Fire did not affect species richness. However, seasonality was the dominant factor influencing species composition, followed by fire and vegetation cover.

Mitochondrial phylogenomics reveals deep relationships of scarab beetles (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae)
PLoS ONE, 2022 In this study, we newly sequenced the complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of two phytophagous scarab beetles, and investigated the deep level relationships within Scarabaeidae combined with other published beetle mitogenome sequences.

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 346-355, April 2026.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 ...
