Beyond Dung: Attractiveness of Native and Exotic Fruits to Dung Beetles in the Brazilian Savanna

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Dietary breadth enhances animal resilience in environments where resources are unpredictable or declining, enabling species to exploit alternative food sources when primary ones are scarce. In dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae), frugivory is an increasingly recognised foraging strategy, particularly in tropical regions experiencing ...

Complementary genomic and morphological data elucidate the phylogeny of obscure darkling beetles (Blaptinae: Platynotini: Eurynotina)

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
First comprehensive phylogenomic study of subtribe Eurynotina using a combined dataset of 499 nuclear loci, 12 mitochondrial loci and 91 morphological characters covering all genera and species groups is presented. Eurynotina is monophyletic and genera within are redefined based on reassessment of old characters, generation of new characters, and ...

Phylogenomics‐based click‐beetle classification tackles multiple origins of phenotypic modifications

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
Using a concatenated dataset consisting of new genomic data from 73 species across 40 click‐beetle tribes and an earlier published, smaller dataset, we conducted the first 4200‐ortholog study targeting the phylogeny of Elateridae with the highest resolution to date.

Climate Change‐Induced Distribution Shifts of Keratin‐Feeding Beetle Omorgus (Omorgus) suberosus: Implications for Olive Ridley Sea Turtle Lepidochelys olivacea Conservation

Animal Conservation, Volume 28, Issue 6, Page 803-816, December 2025.
Our study projects significant climate change‐induced distribution shifts of a keratin‐feeding beetle Omorgus suberosus, with expansions into higher latitudes in Europe and North America and notable habitat losses in tropical regions by 2100. Ecological niche models predict a global habitat reduction of 9.5% under SSP2–4.5 and 20.8% under SSP5–8.5 ...

How Do Morphological Traits and Abundance Reflect the Effects of Land Use Change in a Seasonal Floodable Savannah? A Dung Beetle Case in the Brazilian Pantanal

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 12, Page 1268-1277, December 2025.
We investigated the effects of land‐use change on the abundance and morphological traits (body mass, pronotum ratios, protibial size, elytra ratio, and pronotum–abdomen proportion) of two dung beetle species (Dichotomius bos and D. nisus) in the Brazilian Pantanal.

One dung to attract them all: Faeces attractiveness to dung beetles in herbivore multispecies pasture

Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 6, Page 1172-1183, December 2025.
Dung beetle attractiveness varies among dung from different herbivores despite similar diets. The diversity of herbivores within an enclosure has a limited effect on dung beetle's diversity. Trophic resource availability could impact dung beetle trophic preferences in the long term.
