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.

A new genus for the Neotropical species of Aesalus Fabricius, with descriptions of eight new species (Coleoptera: Lucanidae: Aesalinae) [PDF]

, 2013
The Neotropical members of the genus Aesalus Fabricius (Coleoptera: Lucanidae: Aesalinae) are transferred to a new genus, Trogellus, due to their morphological dissimilarity and molecular divergence from the Old World species of Aesalus, and the new ...

Microallopatric Speciation in Southern African Dung Beetle Genus Macroderes Driven by Miocene Aridification and Ancestral Flight Loss

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Southern Africa harbours a diverse array of dung beetles (Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae), with many species endemic to the region. Despite this diversity, the historical drivers of their evolution remain largely unexplored. This study investigates the evolutionary history of the flightless dung beetle genus Macroderes, testing its monophyly ...

Multifaceted Biodiversity Patterns and Influencing Factors of Lucanus Stag Beetles (Coleoptera, Lucanidae) in China [PDF]

Ecol Evol
As keystone indicators of forest integrity, stag beetles (genus Lucanus) in China reveal novel multidimensional patterns integrating taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional diversity. Our integrative framework elucidates the interactive effects of contemporary environmental gradients and historical climatic oscillations on these biodiversity dimensions,

Nomenclatural changes in the Nearctic Ochodaeinae and description of two new genera (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea: Ochodaeidae) [PDF]

, 2009
Generic placement of Nearctic species of Ochodaeinae has lagged behind changes in generic concepts in the group. In order to place Nearctic species into the appropriate genus-level taxa, several nomenclatural changes are made.

Shedding Light on Shining Leaf Chafers: Rutelinae MacLeay, 1819 (Coleoptera, Scarabaeoidea, Scarabaeidae) as a Neglected Group of Pollinators

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 10, Page 1584-1599, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The interactions between insects and angiosperms date back to millions of years ago. Among the groups of pollinating animals, it is estimated that insects are responsible for pollinating more than 70% of angiosperms. Coleoptera is one of the most studied insect groups for pollination.
