“…Furthermore, as expected after an adaptation period with good feed management (Lopes et al, 2020b), egg counting got the lowest average by RS2, and the EPG peak predicted from Feb-20 was suppressed. However, although the higher EPG averages during the DS, the average remained under 150 eggs per gram of feces.…”

“…It is known that helminths have adverse effects on animal health and welfare, thereby posing significant economic losses to the livestock industry worldwide (Charlier et al, 2020). Therefore, numerous studies have been looking for the epidemiological effects associated with current livestock production models (Oliveira et al, 2017;Bello et al, 2020;Lopes et al, 2020a), as well as the interactions among variables associated with parasitoses (Faria et al, 2016;Lopes et al, 2020b), and the identification of risk factors (Villa-Mancera and Reynoso-Palomar, 2019), including environmental conditions attributable to the global climate changes (Kenyon et al, 2009).…”

“…The use of direct collection and active searching for beetles in dung pats is based on how easy it is to find fresh excrement and insects (e.g., Morelli and Gonzalez-Vainer, 1997;Mendes and Linhares, 2006;Lopes et al, 2020). In our work, manual capture was the most used method for collecting dung beetles after pitfall traps.…”

IntroductionThe standardization of sampling protocols is imperative for robustly studying any taxonomic group. Replicable methods allow the comparison of data between different spatial and temporal studies. In the case of dung beetles, one of the best-studied indicator groups in analyses of environmental disturbance, a wide range of collection methodologies are used, from basic pitfall traps to more complex or complementary methods such as mini-Winkler extractor. Also, different types of attractive baits, sampling effort, durations, and designs are used in dung beetle studies. Variations in methodological approaches are particularly noted in the Neotropics, which may be related to the vast number of biological strategies and behavior of dung beetles that inhabit this region. A lack of methodological unification for the Neotropical region makes a cross-sectional analysis of the information impossible.MethodsWe performed a compilation and analytical review of the existing literature for dung beetle sampling in the Neotropics, discussing the most used methodologies, their advantages and disadvantages, and specific cases in which particular models are more efficient.ResultsPitfall traps baited with human excrement are the most common sampling method, but there is a wide range of models and variations in the structure of this trap. The complementary effect generated by flight interception traps, light traps, and direct collections, particularly within microhabitats, is exciting for the potential of finding new species. Some methodologies, such as mini-Winkler extractor, fogging, or very specific baits, are infrequently used.DiscussionThere was a lack of inclusion of spatial and temporal variation among studies. Therefore, it is necessary to consider broader sampling windows, which include different spatial scales, seasons, and years. Finally, we propose a standard protocol for sampling dung beetles in the Neotropics, depending on each objective, and including a basic methodology for obtaining complete local inventories.
