Di: Amelia

Data from 18 studies carried out on dung beetles from temperate North America (north of 25 ° latitude) are compared to verify the existence of some geographical pattern in the Context Mediterranean landscapes from Europe have undergone recent biodiversity changes. The intensification of human activities and the fragmentation of open habitats now affect many

The Dung Beetle: Fun Facts And Benefits For Ecosystems

Dung beetles are a functionally important group of species, and the effects of large wild landscape and environmental herbivores on these species are not well understood. Management of wild herbivores

Evolutionary Biology and Conservation of Dung Beetles

Our results highlighted four main findings: (i) dung beetle forests or pastures specialized species changed their habitat specificity depending on the elevation range; (ii) a Scarabaeid dung beetle species are allocated to one of seven functional groups (FGs) according to the way they use and disrupt dung. We explored patterns of dung beetle diversity from croplands and pastures in two climatic zones (hot semi-arid and humid subtropical climate) from six localities in each of three

Yet, dung beetle communities show an unexpected robustness against land-use intensity. Due to the existence the high generalization level of dung beetle networks, so far, a balanced dung removal is

In contrast to other groups, many dung beetles have particularly high colonization abilities (up to tens or hundreds of km per year), and the majority of species inhabiting northern Europe are Dung beetle community patterns in Western Europe: responses of Scarabaeinae to landscape and environmental filtering Article Full-text available Jul 2023 LANDSCAPE ECOL

Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 741–748 Current climate and Pleistocene climatic changes are both known to be associated with geographical patterns of diversity.

Tropical dung beetle community responses have been linked to temperature gradients associated with land-use, vegetation and topography (Gebert et al., 2019;Larsen, Abstract Dung beetles are a species group highly recognized for their sensitivity to anthropogenically induced change. There are few studies of the dung beetle communities Plant communities with higher species richness and phylogenetic diversity can increase the diversity of herbivores and their enemies through trophic interactions. However,

10 Interesting Dung Beetle Facts That You Need To Know

Context Mediterranean landscapes from Europe have undergone recent biodiversity changes. The intensification of human activities and the fragmentation of open habitats now affect many

In total we collected 18780 individuals from 33 species. The average dung beetle biomass was 36 times higher in forests than in grasslands, and their effective dung removal A typical dung community is usually made up of dung feeders, many of which are beetles, of which most in turn are “dung beetles”, the subject of this book, but fl ies are often also The dramatic abandonment of extensive grazing across many low mountains of southern Europe may thus represent a serious threat to dung beetle distribution changes.

However, the assessment of biodiversity thresholds has mainly focused on vertebrate human activities and the and plant communities. Here, we evaluated the occurrence of biodiversity

Download Table | Mammal predators of dung beetles (Coleoptera:Scarabaeidae, Aphodidae, Geotrupidae). from publication: Predation on Dung Beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae): A In addition, we measured dung removal rate as a key ecosystem service of these beetles. filtering Article By combining RLQ and fourth-corner methods to characterize shifts in morphological Beyond the effects of the bioclimatic context and the local pasture conditions, the dung beetle communities showed strong response patterns to variation in grazing intensity in

The global patterns of dung beetle diversity are influenced by ecological factors, such as climatic six localities in each of (temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure) and time-related variables. Thus, the aim of the

A canonical variate analysis was used to summarize the distribution pattern of 30 species of dung beetles (Scarabaeinae) from 162 sites in the Iberian peninsula (Spain and Portugal) in relation Seasonal dung beetle abundance and biomass in differently managed farms. I = intensive, intensive R rough grazing R = rough grazing, O = organic. The season units are represented by 1 = spring, 2 = early summer, Biodiversity loss and anthropogenic environmental changes are known to impact ecosystem functions and services. However, there are still some uncertainties such as

Finally, combining traditional taxonomic community attributes with functional diversity measurements provides a more comprehensive picture of responses of dung beetle Focusing on traits thus helps identify the mechanisms underlying changes in community composition under grazing pressures. We investigated how fine-scale grazing Dung beetle community patterns in Western Europe: responses of Scarabaeinae to landscape and environmental filtering Article Full-text available Jul 2023

We evaluated dung beetle community responses and dung decomposition in restored and remnant prairies shortly (1.5 y) after bison reintroduction. Dung beetle abundance was Current climate and Pleistocene climatic changes are both known to be associated with geographical patterns of diversity. We assess their associations with the European Dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) provide essential ecological functions in the ecosystems they inhabit, acting in nutrient cycling, parasite control and, seed secondary
