Tree retention in cattle ranching systems partially preserves dung beetle diversity and functional groups in the semideciduous Atlantic forest : The role of microclimate and soil conditions
(Elsevier, 2018-10-01)
The disturbance of natural environments affects, among others, the diversity of dung beetle assemblages, which could have serious consequences for the ecological processes regulated by these insects. The objective of this ...
Relationship between land uses and diversity of dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae) in the southern Atlantic forest of Argentina: which are the key factors?
(Springer International Publishing Switzerland, 2018-07-26)
The loss of natural habitats is one of the main drivers of biodiversity decline. Anthropogenic land uses preserving biotic and abiotic conditions of the native ecosystem are more suitable to preserve the native biodiversity. ...
Thermal niche helps to explain the ability of dung beetles to exploit disturbed habitats
(Scientific Reports, 2020-08-07)
In terrestrial ecosystems, insects face a wide range of temperatures among habitats and time; consequently, the thermal niche is one of the main determinants of habitat selection and temporal patterns of activity. The ...
Influence of land use on the trophic niche overlap of dung beetles in the semideciduous Atlantic forest of Argentina
(John Wiley & Sons, 2018-11-01)
The degradation and replacement of natural ecosystems affect species abundance, diversity and interspecific interaction through the modification of resource availability and environmental conditions. Land uses preserving ...
