- Measuring the success of reforestation for restoring biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (2016, result): “Our findings are supported by previous studies reporting lower dung removal, dung 411 decomposition and seed burial rates in disturbed and deforested habitats, compared with 412 continuous, undisturbed forest (Horgan 2005, Braga et al. 2013).”
- Co‐declining mammals and dung beetles: an impending ecological cascade (2009, background): “For example, within a given community, the largest dung beetles remove a disproportionate amount of dung (Lindquist 1933, Larsen et al. 2005, Slade et al. 2007), implying a similarly larger role in nitrogen mineralization (Yokoyama et al. 1989) and suppression of pestiferous flies through exploitati”
- Ecological functions and ecosystem services provided by Scarabaeinae dung beetles (2008, background): “sured fly success after exposure to the entire dung beetle assemblage (Fay et al., 1990; Horgan, 2005) both report a strong fly reduction by dung beetles in individual dung pats.”
- Global dung beetle response to tropical forest modification and fragmentation: A quantitative literature review and meta-analysis (2007, background): “By using dung as a food and nesting resource, they are key providers of several ecological services such as waste removal, secondary seed dispersal and vertebrate parasite suppression (Mathison and Ditrich, 1999, Andresen and Feer, 2005 and Horgan, 2005).”
- Scarabaeine Dung Beetles (coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae): An Invertebrate Focal Taxon for Biodiversity Research and Conservation (2006, background): “Dung beetles sampling methods have benefited from this trend, and a growing number of studies investigating the quantitative efficiencies of different collecting protocols have appeared in the literature or are in progress (Horgan 2005; Larsen and Forsyth 2005).”
