💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐘💩 In a 15-year field #experiment at #Mpala, #Kenya, researchers built fences to keep #elephants out and watched what happened.
Without elephant dung to eat, dung #beetle populations collapsed, resulting in 23% fewer species and 67% fewer individuals. The #study, led by Finote Gijsman, is the first large-scale #demonstration that protecting elephants also protects everything that depends on them.

African elephants function as a keystone species for dung beetles across Kenya’s savannas. When elephants are removed from experimental landscapes, dung beetle populations collapse, along with critical ecological functions those insects provide.

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.

RE: https://mastodon.green/@plazi_species/116022519007902519
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

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.
