• 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, background): “(7) In one of the few papers that compare the beetles of a tropical evergreen forest to those of a natural adjacent savanna, Spector and Ayzama (2003) found that even though habitat specificity among them is very high (only 2 of the 73 species collected in the landscape are shared), the natural…”
• Global dung beetle response to tropical forest modification and fragmentation: A quantitative literature review and meta-analysis (2007, background): “Dung beetles exhibit a wide variety of morphological and behavioral traits (Hanski and Cambefort, 1991 and Feer and Pincebourde, 2005) and display rapid, graded responses to many kinds of natural and anthropogenic disturbance (Spector and Ayzama, 2003 and Horgan, 2005).”
• Improving the design and management of forest strips in human-dominated tropical landscapes: a field test on Amazonian dung beetles (2010, background): “…edge effects exert a strong influence on forest biodiversity (Laurance et al. 2002; Ewers & Didham 2008), including dung beetles (Klein 1989; Spector & Ayzama 2003), and some generalist invertebrate species may spillover into native forests from neighbouring agricultural or silvicultural…”
• Trap Spacing and Transect Design for Dung Beetle Biodiversity Studies 1 (2005, background): “In forests, baits are replaced every 2 d after which they rapidly become less attractive, although baits set in more arid environments may need to be replaced daily (Spector & Ayzama 2003).”
