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.
