Biotic homogenisation is defined as decreasing dissimilarity among ecological assemblages
sampled within a given spatial area over time. Biotic differentiation, in turn, is defined as …

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 …

Understanding how human‐modified landscapes affect the phylogenetic composition and
assembly mechanisms of biological communities is critical for effectively managing and …

We evaluated how the taxonomic and functional diversity of dung beetles responds to
landscape fragmentation in Los Tuxtlas Biosphere Reserve (LTBR). We sampled dung …

Se utilizó información proveniente de literatura para compilar el listado de la fauna de
Onthophagus de México. Se encontraron un total de 120 especies, de las cuales 85 son …

Ecological studies with Scarabaeinae dung beetles have increased exponentially over the
past 30 years, using lethal pitfall traps baited with mammal feces or carrion as the preferred …

Land-use change is one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss worldwide, but its negative
effects can vary depending on the spatial scale analyzed. Considering the continuous …

Dung beetles represent one of the main animal groups involved in the cycling of cattle dung,
modifying soil physicochemical properties, and reducing parasite incidence. However, their …

In this study, we compared the Scarabaeinae (Coleoptera) assemblages between two
contrasting habitats (conserved forest versus urban habitat), located between the boundary …

A mechanistic understanding of the relationship between multiple dimensions of species
diversity and ecosystem functioning is needed to safeguard ecological processes critical to …
