Cerrado vegetation conversion into exotic pastures negatively impacts flower chafer beetle assemblages in the west-Central Brazil

Diversity of Cetoniinae1 Beetles in a Semiurban Area of Western Mexico

“…In contrast, a previous study by Fierros-López (2008) at two localities in the region reported 11 species, with seven species at one site and eight species at the other showing 78% similarity. A study using similar methods at the Cerrado region of Brazil recorded seven species at a conserved site and six in exotic grassland (Correa et al 2021). This suggested that despite great diversity of Cetoniinae reported, fruit traps might capture only a limited range of species associated with ripe fruit and exclude those associated with flowers or ant debris (Orozco 2012).…”
