Ecological functions and ecosystem services provided by Scarabaeinae dung beetles (2008, background): “The relative importance of beetle seed dispersal in areas with elevated rodent seed predator densities, such as partially defaunated or secondary forests (Asquith et al., 1997) will be important information for predicting the quality of recovering forests (Gardner et al., 2007).”
The PREDICTS database: a global database of how local terrestrial biodiversity responds to human impacts (2014, neutral): “Numbers on the right are the primary references from which data were taken: 1 L opez-Quintero et al. 2012; 2 Buscardo et al. 2008; 3 Dom ınguez et al. 2012; 4 N€oske et al. 2008; 5 Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) 2013a; 6 Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) 2013b; 7”
Biodiversity Response To Habitat Loss And Fragmentation (2017, background): “These are complemented by a series of important, large-scale observational studies (e.g., Gardner et al., 2008; Gardner et al., 2013; Banks-Leite et al., 2014; Barlow et al., 2016).”
Habitat fragmentation alters the structure of dung beetle communities in the Atlantic Forest (2011, methodology): “We calculated the average number of species not present in each site (beta diversity) defined as b = c a, where c is the number of species sampled in the entire landscape (gamma diversity) and a is the average number of species present at a given site (alpha diversity) (Gardner et al., 2008).”
Seasonal and spatial species richness variation of dung beetle (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae s. str.) in the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil (2009, background): “…to be bioindicators – are useful for studying the effects of deforestation and for evaluating the changes that ecosystems as a whole can suffer as a result of environmental alterations (Halffter et al. 1992; Halffter & Favila 1993; Davis et al. 2001; McGeoch et al. 2002; Gardner et al. 2008).”
Dung beetles as indicators of tropical forest restoration success: Is it possible to recover species and functional diversity? (2014, background): “canopy cover, understorey vegetation, soil type and moisture) (Gardner et al., 2007; Halffter and Arellano, 2002; Horgan, 2007; Nichols et al., 2007; Noriega et al., 2007; Sowig, 1995).”
Attractivity of omnivore, carnivore and herbivore mammalian dung to Scarabaeinae (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae) in a tropical Atlantic rainforest remnant (2009, background): “…to habitat alteration and have distinct organization patterns when studied in tropical forest fragments or in areas which have been deteriorated by human action (Howden & Nealis 1975; Janzen 1983; Klein 1989; Halffter et al. 1992; Didham et al. 1998; Lobo & Martín–Piera 1999; Gardner et al. 2008).”
Improving the design and management of forest strips in human-dominated tropical landscapes: a field test on Amazonian dung beetles (2010, methodology): “Previous work on dung beetles has demonstrated the effectiveness of IndVal for separating species that indicate different habitat types and levels of human-induced degradation (e.g. McGeoch, Van Rensburg & Botes 2002; Gardner et al. 2008b; Gardner 2010).”
