Diet Outweighs Vertical Transmission in Shaping Dung Beetle Larval Gut Microbiomes

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 7, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The microbiome is central to host development and adaptation, yet the balance between vertical and environmental acquisition, and how hosts shape surrounding microbial communities, remains poorly understood. Dung beetles rely on microbial symbionts to extract nutrients from vertebrate dung, with part of their microbiome vertically inherited ...

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

open access: yesEntomologia 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 ...

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

open access: yesJournal 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.

Conservation of dung beetles (Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) in Peninsular Malaysia

open access: yesJournal of Wildlife and Parks, 2019
Dung beetles (Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) have emerged as useful taxa for biodiversity monitoring due to their close association with mammalian diversity and forest structure. While an estimated 170 species have been found in Peninsular Malaysia thus far and several ecological studies have been conducted, very little has been discussed about the ...
