Nutritional effects on growth and development of sepsid flies
We investigated how the nutritional quality of dung during larval feeding affects subsequent adult life history traits of four European dung fly species: Sepsis cynipsea, Sepsis fulgens, Sepsis punctum, and Sepsis thoracica (Diptera: Sepsidae). Larvae were raised in standard cow dung, yeast‐supplemented dung, microbe‐depleted (autoclaved) dung, and in ...

Evidence of greater dung beetle abundance in a rewilded area compared to nearby organic farms
The abundance of dung beetles was more than 20 times greater at rewilded sites compared to organic sites. This case study suggests that rewilding with large herbivores may provide an effective strategy to combat dung beetle declines. Abstract Organic farms have been shown to harbour larger and more diverse invertebrate populations and associated ...

Dung beetles drive direct and indirect changes in ecosystem multifunctionality
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Measuring ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF) could be a valuable method for assessing whether nature‐based solutions, such as introducing non‐native species to benefit ecosystem functioning, yield net positive outcomes. While EMF metrics may provide a coarse overview of
