Understanding what bioindicators are actually indicating: Linking disturbance responses to ecological traits of dung beetles and ants
Biological responses to a disturbance can vary among taxa, which challenges the use of
bioindicators for representing biodiversity responses more broadly. Linking ecological traits …

Influence of land use on the taxonomic and functional diversity of dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae) in the southern Atlantic forest of Argentina
The degradation and replacement of native ecosystems affects both their taxonomic and
functional biodiversity. However, native species may find a gradient of habitat suitability in …

Biodiversity in landscape mosaics: The roles of local land use and the surrounding landscape on dung beetle assemblages
Biotic communities in heterogeneous agricultural landscapes can be shaped by both the
land use of local patches and the structure of surrounding landscapes. However, studies …

Contributions of the mammal community, habitat structure, and spatial distance to dung beetle community structure
Dung beetles feed and nest in mammal feces, are influenced by habitat quality and have
limited dispersal ability. We hypothesized that dung beetle community structure is affected …

Patterns of taxonomic and functional diversity of dung beetles in a human-modified variegated landscape in Brazilian Cerrado
Abstract The Brazilian Cerrado harbors great floristic and structural diversity composed of a
mosaic of natural vegetation types and anthropogenic environments such as introduced …

Subtle land‐use change and tropical biodiversity: dung beetle communities in Cerrado grasslands and exotic pastures
Although many tropical savannas are highly influenced by humans, the patterns of
biodiversity loss in these systems remain poorly understood. In particular, the biodiversity …
