Changes of dung beetle communities from rainforests towards agroforestry systems and annual cultures in Sulawesi (Indonesia) (2005, background): “The diversity of carrion beetles may not be seriously affected by forest clearance and the establishment of plantations (Hanski 1989), although reduced abundance and diversity in clear cuts may occur (Vulinec 2002).”
Dung beetle (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) diversity and community structure across three disturbance regimes in eastern Amazonia (2005, background): “This has implications for future forest regeneration in these areas since small-bodied beetles are less effective seed dispersers than larger species (Andresen 2001, Vulinec 2002).”
Possible Indirect Effects of Mammal Hunting on Dung Beetle Assemblages in Panama (2007, background): “Long-term monthly averages for temperature at BCI range from 23–32◦C with mean annual rainfall from 2188–2612 mm (Windsor 1990).”
Weed composition and cover after three years of soil fertility management in the central Brazilian Amazon : Compost, fertilizer, manure and charcoal applications (2005, background): “For example, at the landscape scale, Vulinec (2002) showed that seed-dispersing dung beetle communities were reduced as disturbance increased and biomass cover decreased in tropical forests of the Amazon.”
Ecological functions and ecosystem services provided by Scarabaeinae dung beetles (2008, background): “2004), the composition of the dung beetle community (Andresen, 2002; Slade et al., 2007; Vulinec, 2002) and both the amount (Andresen, 2001, 2002) and type of dung (Ponce-Santizo et al.”
Understanding the biodiversity consequences of habitat change: the value of secondary and plantation forests for neotropical dung beetles (2007, background): “As well as providing a proxy correction for phylogenetic differences (the true phylogeny for all species being unknown), comparisons within genera also provide a proxy for gross differences in beetle size and functional behaviour ( Vulinec 2002 ).”
Dung beetle (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) diversity in continuous forest, forest fragments and cattle pastures in a landscape of Chiapas, Mexico: the effects of anthropogenic changes (2008, methodology): “…meta-analysis and a synthesis of 33 publications; Howden and Nealis 1975; Klein 1989; Halffter et al. 1992; Estrada et al. 1998; Davis et al. 2000; Vulinec 2000, 2002; Andresen 2003; Scheffler 2005; Quintero and Roslin 2005; Shahabuddin et al. 2005; Chapman et al. 2003; Avendaño-Mendoza et al.…”
Global dung beetle response to tropical forest modification and fragmentation: A quantitative literature review and meta-analysis (2007, background): “The negative impacts of habitat modification may be more clearly reflected by changes in the latter (Vulinec, 2002 and Scheffler, 2005).”
Extinction order and altered community structure rapidly disrupt ecosystem functioning. (2005, background): “…and bee communities could have serious consequences for ecosystem functions and services, lowering crop yields (Kremen et al. 2002; Klein et al. 2003; Ricketts 2004) or disrupting plant regeneration, nutrient cycling and parasite regulation (Klein 1989; Mittal 1993; Vulinec 2002; Andresen 2003).”
