Dung beetles are one of the most representative groups of insects associated with livestock,
as they take advantage of the manure of livestock for food and reproduction. They have …

Beetles occur in most terrestrial and freshwater habitats and a few occupy marine
environments. The most common life‐cycle type in beetles is holometaboly. More …

The vast scope of conservation problems has forced biologists and managers to rely on"
surrogate" species to serve as shortcuts to guide their decision making. These species …

The terms related to rapid alternative routes for appraising species diversity (biodiversity
assessment shortcuts), through the use of biodiversity target groups, indicator groups and …

Summary 1 Secondary and plantation forests are becoming increasingly widespread in the
tropics. A recent meta‐analysis on the impacts of land‐use change on tropical forest dung …

Tropical forest restoration is becoming increasingly more applied to offset biodiversity loss
and maintain ecosystem processes, but knowledge about its efficacy is still limited. We …

We compared the species diversity of copronecrophagous beetles (Scarabaeinae), bats,
and frogs in tropical montane cloud forest (original vegetation) and shaded coffee …

I compared dung beetle communities and assessed some of their functional effects (dung
removal, seed burial, seedling establishment) in continuous forest with those in 1‐ha and 10 …

Biodiversity loss can precipitate extinction cascades and impair ecological processes. These
'downstream'effects will be exacerbated if functionally important taxa are tightly linked with …

This book describes the evolutionary and ecological consequences of reproductive
competition for scarabaeine dung beetles. As well as giving us insight into the private lives …
