Human perturbations reduce dung beetle diversity and dung removal ecosystem function (2021, background): “The proportion of variance (R2) explained by each parameter and their respective levels of significance are reported (e.g., Beynon et al., 2012; Braga et al., 2013; Tixier et al., 2015; our results).”
The application of an ecosystem services framework to estimate the economic value of dung beetles to the U.K. cattle industry (2015, background): “Disturbances in agroecosystems may affect dung beetle communities, reducing the rates of dung removal and the associated benefits (Beynon et al., 2012a; Beynon, 2013).”
Research trends in ecosystem services provided by insects (2017, unknown): “In addition, there is an evident bias in the literature we reviewed towards those groups that can be easily studied (e.g. towards above-vs. below-ground organisms), have larger body sizes (e.g. butterﬂies vs. ﬂies), are readily identiﬁable (e.g. Carabidae are more often studied than the…”
