    How #forest conversion can harm #dungBeetles

    "conversion" meaning: by deliberately creating canopy openings and enriching deadwood, the conditions of natural forests are to be imitated. These measures are considered positive for #biodiversity as they create habitats for many plants and animals.

  6. RE: mastodon.green/@plazi_species/

    Beetles of the genus #Cheironitis (#Scarabaeinae) are characterized by a strikingly #robust #morphology in the #adults, while the larvae usually resemble cockchafer grubs. These are #dungbeetles that exhibit #broodcare. They are widespread in #arid regions of the #Palearctic and #Afrotropical regions. YuHeng Wang et al. (2025) described, i.a., the new species C. #aiweiae from #ShirenGou (Xinjiang Uygur). #Biodiversityresearch © this text #StefanFWirth

  17. Dung beetles are such handsome animals. Here’s a female Texas rainbow scarab, Phanaeus texensis. It is not rainbow colored like its congeners, but I’m not complaining.

New on Entomology Today: To better understand the behavior of dung beetles as they burrow underground, researchers in South Korea have shown they can tag beetles with thin strips of aluminum and later track them with metal detectors at depths of up to 20 centimeters. #entomology #insects #DungBeetles entomologytoday.org/2024/08/06
