“…Mammalian declines can dramatically reduce dung beetle abundance due to their strong dependence on mammal dung (Nichols et al 2009). As it has been suggested that arboreal dung beetles feed specifically on the dung of primates (Davis et al 1997, Vulinec et al 2007, and Harcourt and Doherty (2005) state that fragmentation clearly threatens primate survival, we can speculate that primate populations and biomass are important factors in explaining the TABLE 1. Six best approximating generalized linear mixed-effects models and summary statistics for Onthophagus sp.…”

“…Insolation within tropical rain forests increases with elevation, and Vulinec et al (2007) suggest that the resultant high temperatures in the upper canopy may limit dung beetles due to physiological constraints. Davis and Sutton (1998) proposed that changes in light and temperature may be responsible for ground level foraging of arboreal dung beetles in disturbed habitats.…”

“…En cambio, las selvas húmedas (Davis et al, 2011;Kato et al, 1995;Schroeder et al, 2009;Su y Woods, 2001) y algunos bosques templados (Maguire et al, 2014) presentan una mayor abundancia en el dosel, por lo que su presencia podría estar condicionada a la disponibilidad de recursos en diferentes tipos de vegetación. En estudios anteriores (Basset et al, 2003;Vulinec et al, 2007) se ha comparado la abundancia y riqueza de insectos entre el dosel y el sotobosque en diversos tipos de vegetación, mostrando que muchos de estos grupos no se distribuyen por igual a lo largo del gradiente vertical. Por otro lado, y de acuerdo con nuestra predicción, la composición de especies es distinta entre el dosel y el sotobosque, siendo el 32% de las especies exclusivas Tabla 3 Familias indicadoras del orden Coleoptera con alto valor y significativo de IndVal en los estratos del bosque tropical subcaducifolio en la Estación de Biología Chamela, Jalisco, México.…”

“…Los estudios sobre patrones de distribución vertical de los artrópodos revelan comunidades muy estratificadas (Kato et al, 1995), y este trabajo no es la excepción, debido a que la diversidad beta muestra diferencias significativas, en la composición de especies del BTCs en un gradiente de distribución vertical, donde este gradiente está conformado al menos por 2 comunidades distintas. Estos patrones pueden estar determinados por múltiples factores que actúan simultáneamente, tales como el tiempo, estructura del bosque, composición de la comunidad vegetal, gradientes climáticos, disponibilidad de recursos, interacciones inter-específicas y habilidades de dispersión (Ulyshen, 2011;Vulinec et al, 2007).…”

“…In tropical forests, most dung is found directly on the ground because most vertebrates live on the forest floor, but some mammals, especially primates, defecate in the canopy or understory. In some forests, a significant portion of the vertebrate fauna is mainly arboreal and the dung that they produce often never reaches the forest floor (Davis et al, 1997;Vulinec et al, 2007). This spatial resource structure generates a vertical stratification of the dung in tropical forests closely connected with the perching behaviour and an arboreal lifestyle displayed by some dung beetle species (Davis et al, 1997).…”
