In spite of their relatively small size as a group of insects, dung beetles have attracted an
inordinate amount of scientific interest over the years, starting with the work of the French …

Scarabaeine dung beetles are the dominant dung feeding group of insects and are widely
used as model organisms in conservation, ecology and developmental biology. Due to the …

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 …

Abstract Background Dung beetles (subfamily Scarabaeinae) are popular model organisms
in ecology and developmental biology, and for the last two decades they have experienced …

This book describes the evolutionary and ecological consequences of reproductive
competition for scarabaeine dung beetles. As well as giving us insight into the private lives …

Aim (1) To review briefly global biogeographical patterns in dung beetles (Coleoptera:
Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae), a group whose evolutionary history has been dominated by …

We conducted a morphologically based taxonomic revision of the Dichotomius mamillatus
species group (Scarabaeinae). A new species, Dichotomius (Dichotomius) gandinii sp. nov …

The dung beetles (Scarabaeinae) include ca. 5000 species and exhibit a diverse array of
morphologies and behaviors. This variation presumably reflects the adaptation to a diversity …

The subfamily Scarabaeinae has been traditionally divided into tribes on the basis of
morphological similarity between groups of genera or, even, dissimilarity shown by a single …

The phylogeny of the Scarabaeinae, the largest and most important group of dung feeding
beetles, is hypothesised based on 200 morphological characters of 50 taxa, representing …
