Male genitalia show patterns of divergent evolution, and sexual selection is recognised as
being responsible for this taxonomically widespread phenomenon. Much of the empirical …

After almost two decades of stagnation, the taxonomy of the New World Scarabaeinae dung
beetles has since 1988 been going through a period of great effervescence. In the last 35 …

This study is a revision of the genus Phanaeus as defined by Edmonds (1972). The intro·
duction includes a history of the genus, a key separating it from related genera, a discussion …

In animals with internal fertilization and promiscuous mating, male genitalia show rapid and
divergent evolution. Three hypotheses have been suggested to explain the evolutionary …

Based largely on homoplastic characters of external morphology, the current systematics of
the tribe Onthophagini and allied dung beetle lineages is unstable, contradictory, and thus …

Sperm competition is widely recognized as a pervasive force of sexual selection. Theory
predicts that across species increased risk of sperm competition should favor an increased …

In this study, we take the Onthophagus chevrolati species group, likely a monophyletic
species group as an example to analyze the processes that led to the biogeographic …

Many dung beetle communities are characterized by species that share very similar
morphological, ecological, and behavioral traits and requirements yet appear to be stably …

A phylogeny of the main lineages of dung beetles Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae) from the
Iberian Peninsula was based on partial nucleotide sequences about 1221 bp) of the …
