Herbivore dung as food for dung beetles: elementary coprology for entomologists (2016, background): “Many of these studies have been reviewed by Halffter and Edmonds (1982), Hanski and Cambefort (1991), Scholtz et al. (2009b), and Simmons and Ridsdill-Smith (2011).”
Dung beetles as indicators of tropical forest restoration success: Is it possible to recover species and functional diversity? (2014, background): “Dung beetles depend on other groups of organisms, mainly vertebrates (especially mammals) and trees, for adult and larval food resources (Halffter and Matthews, 1966; Hanski and Cambefort, 1991).”
Necrobiome Framework for Bridging Decomposition Ecology of Autotrophically and Heterotrophically Derived Organic Matter (2018, background): “…of dung or frass; however, we encourage those interested in this topic to review the literature on the ecology and evolution of dung beetles (Hanski and Cambefort 1991) and the additional importance of feces in terrestrial (Van der Wal et al. 2004) and aquatic (Alldredge and Silver 1988,…”
Human perturbations reduce dung beetle diversity and dung removal ecosystem function (2021, background): “Interspecific competition for food resources has been traditionally assumed to be the main mechanism regulating the interaction between dung beetles and the structure of their assemblages (Hanski & Cambefort, 1991).”
