Abstract:
Dung beetles, belonging to the subfamily Scarabaeinae, represent a globally distributed group of insects known for their scavenging behaviour, feeding primarily on animal excrement. Their ecological importance lies in their central role in recycling organic matter, with a particular focus on manure. A total of 6,886 species of this subfamily have been discovered, of which over 450 species are reported from India. In the present work, a total of 27 dung beetle species belonging to 8 genera from different Indian states are examined. These results are based on recent collections carried out as pa

Abstract:
In contrast to other necromass, such as leaves, deadwood, or dung, the drivers of insect biodiversity on carcasses are still incompletely understood. For vertebrate scavengers, a richer community was shown for randomly placed carcasses, due to lower competition. Here we tested if scavenging beetles similarly show a higher diversity at randomly placed carcasses compared to easily manageable fixed places. We sampled 12,879 individuals and 92 species of scavenging beetles attracted to 17 randomly and 12 at fixed places exposed and decomposing carcasses of red deer, roe deer, and red foxes compare

Abstract:
Fieldwork on 15 islands of the Florida Keys produced 13 species of scavenging scarab beetles (Laparosticti and Trox). Six of these species represent new records for the Keys. Twenty-three additional species (many of which are synanthropic or tramps), previously recorded from the Keys, were not found. Species–area relationships for the islands form a significant regression line as predicted by equilibrium island biogeography theory. It is concluded that many of the islands have low species numbers either because (i) human habitat disturbance has caused many local species extinctions or (ii) spe

Abstract:
Agricultural landscape refers to the areas of land that are primarily used for agricultural activities and farming. Beetles (Order: Coleoptera) are one of the most diverse and ecologically important groups inhabiting agrarian landscapes. Coleoptera represents about 200 recognized families and 400,000 described species. Diverse feeding habits such as herbivory, predation, scavenging, decomposition, fungivory, and parasitism enable them to occupy a wide range of habitats and reduce competition. Consequently, contribute immensely to agricultural landscapes by providing numerous ecological service

Abstract:
Water beetles belonging to the suborder Polyphaga vary greatly in larval and adult ecologies, and fulfil important functional roles in shallow-water ecosystems by processing plant material, scavenging and through predation. This study investigates the species richness and composition of aquatic polyphagan assemblages in and around the St Lucia estuarine lake (South Africa), within the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A total of 32 sites were sampled over three consecutive collection trips between 2013 and 2015. The sites encompassed a broad range of aquatic habitats, be

Abstract:
The unpredictable invasion of the Mupli beetle, Luprops tristis Fabricius (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), makes areas uninhabitable to humans. These beetles produce a strong-smelling, irritating secretion as a defence mechanism, which causes blisters on contact with human skin. In the current study, gas chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry (GC-HRMS) analysis of the defensive gland extract of the Mupli beetle revealed the presence of compounds such as 2,3,dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone, 1,3-dihydroxy-2-methylbenzene, 2,5-dimethyl hydroquinone, tetracosane, oleic acid, hexacosane, pentacosan

AbstractBioassays were developed in Zimbabwe to measure pyrethroid in cattle dung. These and chemical assays then estimated concentrations in dung from treated oxen and elucidated risks to dung fauna. Laboratory bioassays with adult beetles (Histeridae and Scarabaeinae, includingCopris, Digitonthophagus, OnitisandSisyphusspp.) and muscoid larvae (Musca lusoriaWiedemann) indicated that the LC50 of pyrethroids, as ppm in the wet weight, averaged 0.04 for deltamethrin pour-on, 0.25 for deltamethrin dip, 0.22 for alphacypermthrin pour-on, 0.10 for cyfluthrin pour-on, 0.23 for cypermethrin dip and

Abstract:
Micromegistus bakeri is a purported commensal mite that spends most of its life on the ground beetle Scarites subterraneus. It is thought to sustain itself by feeding on the beetle’s dermal fluids and opportunistically scavenging on nearby organic debris, although the nature of this relationship, and whether it’s beneficial, detrimental or neutral to the host, is unclear. This species has previously been recorded in Mississippi, Texas, and Kansas. This study reports the first record of M. bakeri in Pennsylvania based on our collecting, as well as the first records for Ohio, Michigan, Missouri,

Abstract Plants capture energy from solar radiation, herbivores get their energy supplies by eating plants, and carnivores get theirs by eating herbivores or, in some cases, other carnivores. We will start this chapter by looking at this energy flow in two ecosystems, a grassland and an ocean. Then we will consider how the guts of carnivores and herbivores are adapted to break down different kinds of food and make their energy available. Then we will examine the energy costs of feeding. Finally, we will discuss how animals should choose what they eat, to get as much energy as possible.Our firs
