“…Los escarabajos fitófagos de la familia Scarabaeidae son un grupo ampliamente diversificado en Colombia, pues se conocen 109 géneros y 595 especies (Restrepo et al 2003;Gasca & Amat 2010). Se caracterizan por ser de gran importancia económica y ecológica, debido a que desempeñan funciones importantes dentro de las comunidades bióticas por su papel en la polinización, la degradación y reciclaje de la materia orgánica (Morón 1985).…”

En el proceso, se producen detritos y excreciones que facilitan la acción de otros agentes descomponedores en la microfauna y microflora (Gasca & Amat 2010).…”
