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
