Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.This study modeled the effects of livestock farming and land use change on dung beetle species richness and abundance in Austria and the Czech Republic. Using historic land cover data from the 19th century, we found evidence for extinction debt, showing that past landscapes better explained current dung beetle populations than recent land use.

New Data on the Occurrence of Scarabaeoid Beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea) in Serbia
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,

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 169-181, May 2026.We assessed the effect of the type of soil texture (loamy sand and sandy loam) and its physical properties on dung beetle species assemblages in a pastureland region of the Brazilian Cerrado. We found a reduction in the total and paracoprid beetle abundances in loamy sand soil. Furthermore, the increase of soil compaction negatively affected the entire

On nomenclature and identity of Scarabaeus aeruginosus Linnaeus, S. aeruginosus Drury and S. speciosissimus Scopoli (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea: Cetoniinae and Rutelinae) [PDF]
, 2012 The valid name for the largest European species of Cetoniinae is Protaetia speciosissima (Scopoli, 1786), with Protaetia aeruginosa (Medvedev, 1964) as a junior synonym. The specimen illustrated by Scopoli in the original description is designated as the

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 ...
