Abstract:
Four different techniques to make taxonomic decisions concerning different species in Scarabaeinae are being investigated. Firstly, I made measurements of the body dimensions which are plotted on a two dimensional graph. This method is successfully used to erect one new species, Copris crassus Deschodt and Davis, 2015, and to establish the synonymy of Copris bihamatus Balthasar, 1965 with Copris fidius (Olivier, 1789). Thereafter the classical or traditional comparative method is used to propose seven new species Scarabaeolus soutpansbergensis (Deschodt and Davis 2015), Scarabaeolus megaparvul

Abstract:
Dung beetle eggs develop within the finite nutritional environment of the brood ball, which is made using maternally processed animal faeces. It is thought that microbial and gut-derived excretions constitute the major source of N and C for adult dung beetles, while developing larvae, which have retained the mouthparts of their saprophagous ancestors, digest larger particles in the brood ball and rely on symbionts present in the brood ball to provide breakdown products for their nutrition. Stable isotope analysis was used to trace the source of developing larval N and C. Nitrogen and carbon co

Abstract:
La faune des bousiers des hautes montagnes du Mexique a été encore très peu étudiée. Des travaux ponctuels avaient été réalisés pour certaines montagnes, mais une analyse approfondie et simultanée de plusieurs massifs montagneux n'avait jamais été faite auparavant, en particulier avec une double approche, écologique et historique. Les chaînes montagneuses sont des systèmes extrêmement favorables pour analyser les influences biogéographiques et les interactions écologiques dans les assemblages d'espèces. L'objectif de cette thèse est de décrire et d'analyser la distribution et la richesse des S

Abstract:
Investigating the extent of local scale heterogeneity in assemblages is necessary to achieve a sound understanding of the processes giving rise to local assemblage patterns and the variation between them. Moreover, a clear understanding of local scale heterogeneity of assemblages is imperative in the development of effective regional conservation strategies. Previous studies examined the local scale heterogeneity in dung beetle assemblages between mixed woodland and sand forest habitats in Tembe Elephant Park, KwaZulu-Natal. Sand forest is an endangered habitat type in southern Africa which, w

Abstract:
Alpacas have been gaining prominence in the U.S. since the early 1980s. In pastures, dung beetle activity has been shown to enhance the degradation and incorporation of dung into the soil. The benefits of this activity have been quantified for cattle, but not for alpacas. The objectives of this study were to document the dung beetle species present in alpaca pastures, and to evaluate the impact of dung beetle activity on the growth of a common summer annual grass. In 2010 and 2011, dung beetle species present in alpaca pastures located at Virginia State University (VSU), were evaluated

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior<br>This study aims to contribute to the scarce data on the Scarabaeinae fauna of the Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Twenty-four samplings were made with pitfall traps baited with human excrement, rotting meat and fermented banana in three forest fragments with different degrees of disturbance in Santa Maria, RS, between May 2009 and April 2010, in order to investigate the diversity of Scarabaeinae in these habitats and learn about the feeding preference in relation to the baits used and the temporal distribution of species.
