Global dung beetle response to tropical forest modification and fragmentation: a quantitative literature review and meta-analysis
Although insects are crucial for maintaining ecosystem function, our understanding of their
overall response to human activity remains limited. This is no less true of dung-burying …

If dung beetles (Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) arose in association with dinosaurs, did they also suffer a mass co-extinction at the K-Pg boundary?
The evolutionary success of beetles and numerous other terrestrial insects is generally
attributed to co-radiation with flowering plants but most studies have focused on herbivorous …
