The Ochodaeidae of Argentina (Coleoptera, Scarabaeoidea)

ZooKeys, 2012
The Ochodaeidae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea) of Argentina are revised. Previously, two species of Ochodaeinae were known from the country, both in the genus Parochodaeus Nikolajev: Parochodaeus campsognathus (Arrow) and Parochodaeus cornutus (Ohaus). An additional 7 species of Parochodaeus from Argentina are described here as new.

Turnover‐Dominated β‐Diversity and Its Temperature and Trophic Drivers of Scarabaeoidea Assemblages Along an Elevational Gradient in a Tropical Island Rainforest in China [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Mountains serve as ideal natural laboratories for investigating biodiversity patterns along elevational gradients. This study examined α‐diversity (species richness and abundance) and β‐diversity (overall compositional dissimilarity and its turnover and ...

New Data on the Occurrence of Scarabaeoid Beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea) in Serbia [PDF]

Diversity, 2023
The Serbian fauna of the superfamily Scarabaeoidea is relatively well-known compared to the neighbouring countries. Many common species known from Serbia’s neighbouring countries are not recorded in Serbia, despite the richness of the country’s habitats,

Chromosomal rearrangements: tempo and mode of karyotype evolution in Scarabaeoidea. [PDF]

J Evol Biol
Abstract Karyotype evolution, including changes in chromosome number and structure, is a fundamental process that can influence genome organization and speciation. Here, we analyze patterns of chromosome number evolution and sex chromosome–autosome (SA) fusions across Scarabaeoidea, a diverse beetle superfamily with broad variation in

The conversion of native savannah into pasturelands does not affect exclusively species diversity: Effects on physiological condition of a highly abundant dung beetle species

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Dung beetles are efficient indicators to obtain responses regarding the effects of land use change on biodiversity. Although the biological consequences of Cerrado conversion into pasture have been observed at the assemblage scale, there are no cues ...
