1. Seasonality of dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae) in Atlantic Forest sites with different levels of disturbance in southern Brazil
RESUMO Espécies de rola-bostas foram coletadas entre maio de 2016 e julho de 2017 com armadilhas de queda iscadas com fezes humanas em quatro localidades de Mata Atlântica com diferentes níveis de perturbação no estado do Rio Grande do Sul, sul do Brasil. Foram amostrados 5.535 indivíduos pertencentes a 46 espécies. Canthidium aff. trinodosum (20,71%)

3. Dung Beetles Associated with Agroecosystems of Southern Brazil: Relationship with Soil Properties
ABSTRACT Knowing the biodiversity of dung beetles in agricultural and livestock environments is the basis for understanding the contribution that these organisms make in nutrient cycling and ecosystem functions. The aim of the present study was to investigate the structure of copronecrophagous dung beetle communities inhabiting the main agroecosystems in sou

4. Spatial variation of dung beetle assemblages associated with forest structure in remnants of southern Brazilian Atlantic Forest
ABSTRACT The Brazilian Atlantic Forest is one of the world's biodiversity hotspots, and is currently highly fragmented and disturbed due to human activities. Variation in environmental conditions in the Atlantic Forest can influence the distribution of species, which may show associations with some environmental features. Dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaein

5. Dung beetle (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae) assemblage of a highly fragmented landscape of Atlantic forest: from small to the largest fragments of northeastern Brazilian region
Human activities in tropical forests are the main causes of forest fragmentation. According to historical factor in deforestation processes, forest remnants exhibit different sizes and shapes. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the dung beetle assemblage on fragments of different degree of sizes. Sampling was performed during rainy and dry season o

6. What is the importance of open habitat in a predominantly closed forest area to the dung beetle (Coleoptera, Scarabaeinae) assemblage?
What is the importance of open habitat in a predominantly closed forest to the dung beetle assemblage? The Atlantic Forest in Brazil is one of the most highly disturbed ecosystems and is mainly represented by fragmented areas. However, in places where human disturbances have ceased, certain areas are showing a natural regeneration pattern. The aim of the pre

7. Dung beetle assemblages (Coleoptera, Scarabaeinae) in Atlantic forest fragments in southern Brazil
Dung beetle assemblages (Coleoptera, Scarabaeinae) in Atlantic forest fragments in southern Brazil. The beetles of the subfamily Scarabaeinae are important organisms that participate in the cycle of decomposition, especially in tropical ecosystems. Most species feed on feces (dung) or carcasses (carrion) and are associated with animals that produce their foo

8. ESPÉCIES DE SCARABAEINAE (COLEOPTERA: SCARABAEIDAE) DE FRAGMENTOS FLORESTAIS COM DIFERENTES NÍVEIS DE ALTERAÇÃO EM SANTA MARIA, RIO GRANDE DO SUL / SPECIES OF SCARABAEINAE (COLEOPTERA: SCARABAEIDAE) OF FOREST ECOSYSTEMS WITH DIFFERENT ALTERATION DEGREES IN SANTA MARIA, RIO GRANDE DO SUL
Este estudo visa contribuir com os escassos dados sobre a fauna de Scarabaeinae do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Foram realizadas 24 coletas com armadilhas de queda iscadas com excremento humano, carne apodrecida e banana fermentada em três fragmentos florestais com diferentes níveis de perturbação em Santa Maria, RS, entre maio de 2009 e abril de 2010, a f

9. New records, threatens and conservation status for Dichotomius schiffleri Vaz-de-Mello, Louzada & Gavino (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae): an endangered dung beetle species from Brazilian atlantic forest ecosystems
Dichotomius schiffleri Vaz-de-Mello et al is often cited as endemic to the preserved coastal sandy-dune vegetation (restinga) of Guriri Island, Espírito Santo state, and is included in the Brazilian List of Endangered Fauna as "critically endangered" (CR). However, we recorded its occurrence in twelve additional sites along the coasts of Espírito Santo, Ba

10. A comparison of dung beetle assemblage structure (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) between an Atlantic forest fragment and adjacent abandoned pasture in Paraná, Brazil
The study was conducted at the Mata dos Godoy State Park in Londrina, state of Paraná, Brazil. Baited pitfall traps were installed in the forest, in adjacent abandoned pasture land, and on the borders between these two environments. Every two weeks, from June 1999 to May 2000, the traps were placed for 24 hours and the material was collected every 12 hours.

11. Dung beetle communities: a neotropical-north temperate comparison
Dung beetle communities have been compared across north temperate latitudes. Tropical dung beetle communities appear to be more diverse based on studies using different methodologies. Here, we present results from a standardized sampling protocol used to compare dung beetle communities across five neotropical forests in Brazil and Ecuador and two warm, north

12. Effects of changes in land use of the Brazilian Amazon on the ecological services provided by EscarabeÃneos (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae). / Efeitos da alteraÃÃo do uso do solo na Amazonia Brasileira sobre serviÃos ecolÃgicos proporcionados pelos Scarabaeinae (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae)
Ecosystem services provided by the biodiversity are that ones associated to live organism and that, in last analysis, affect natural process of human interest. Scarabeine dung beetles has been in evidence in the last years in function of the array of services provided, both in natural as in agricultural landscapes. This work aimed to evaluate the effect of l
