Diversidade de besouros coprófagos (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae) coletados com armadilha de interceptação de voo no Pantanal Sul-Mato-Grossense, Brasil

Abstract: Diversity of coprophagous scarab beetles (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae) collected with flight intercept trap in the Southern Pantanal, Brazil. Biota Neotrop. 10(2): http://www.biotaneotropica.org.br/v10n2/en/abstract?article+bn03410022010.Abstract: Coprophagous scarab beetles play an important ecological role in the ecosystems; however, studies on diversity of such insects are scarce for distinct biomes. The present study aimed to identify the Scarabaeidae coprophagous species which occur in the Pantanal of Mato G… Show more

“…Because D. bos was the second most abundant species in the present study using sheep dung as bait, and has been abundant in many Brazilian pasturelands utilized for cattle production (e.g., Louzada & Carvalho e Silva 2009; Rodrigues et al 2010;Abot et al 2012), we believe that its dominance may be associated to adaptation to Neotropical pastures (Abot et al 2012) and not just the food resource.…”

“…For example, the coprophagous beetles of the Scarabaiedae family act in the fragmentation of organic matter, recycling excrements of other animals and acting in the biological control of other populations. Due to this, it is considered a group of ecological importance, whereas the presence or absence of this group can help in studies of anthropogenic intervention in the environment (RODRIGUES et al, 2010).…”

“…O emprego da ordem coleoptera em estudos de avaliação da qualidade ambiental ocorre em detrimento da grande variedade de nichos que ocupa, número de famílias, diversidade de espécies e de hábitos alimentares (TEIXEIRA et al, 2009), os quais podem ser fitófagos, parasitas, predadores, necrófagos e coprófagos. Os besouros coprófagos da família Scarabaiedae, por exemplo, por atuarem na fragmentação da matéria orgânica, reciclando excrementos de outros animais e agirem no controle biológico de outras populações, são considerados um grupo de importância ecológica, ao passo que a presença ou ausência desse grupo pode auxiliar em estudos de intervenção antrópica no ambiente (RODRIGUES et al, 2010).…”

“…In Brazil, it has a broad distribution, with records from intra-Amazonian savannahs (Matavelli & Louzada 2008), Tabuleiro forest (Lima et al 2013) and Atlantic forest fragments (Silva et al 2015). Furthermore, it has been recorded in transitional forests between cerrado and Amazon forest (Andrade et al 2011), and cerrado within Pantanal regions (Louzada et al 2007, Puker et al 2013, Rodrigues et al 2010). …”
