Co‐declining mammals and dung beetles: an impending ecological cascade (2009, background): “A growing body of evidence demonstrates that these ecological functions are highly sensitive to the shifts in dung beetle community structure that accompany widespread habitat modification (Klein 1989, Andresen 2003, Horgan 2005, Larsen et al. 2005).”
Changes of dung beetle communities from rainforests towards agroforestry systems and annual cultures in Sulawesi (Indonesia) (2005, background): “Klein (1989) and Andresen (2002a) quantified the reduced diversity of decomposer organisms as a result of forest fragmentation (see also Didham et al. 1996).”
Possible Indirect Effects of Mammal Hunting on Dung Beetle Assemblages in Panama (2007, methodology): “However, such higher-order indirect effects ought to be assessed directly because the outcome of complex species-interactions can be highly unpredictable (Didham et al. 1996, Andresen 2003, Wright 2003).”
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): “…synthesis of 33 publications; Howden and Nealis 1975; Klein 1989; Halffter et al. 1992; Estrada et al. 1998; Davis et al. 2000; Vulinec 2000, 2002; Andresen 2003; Scheffler 2005; Quintero and Roslin 2005; Shahabuddin et al. 2005; Chapman et al. 2003; Avendaño-Mendoza et al. 2005; Vulinec et al.…”
Extinction order and altered community structure rapidly disrupt ecosystem functioning. (2005, background): “Dung beetles accelerate nutrient recycling rates, increase plant yield, act as secondary seed dispersers, and help to regulate parasites of mammals (Mittal 1993; Andresen 2003).”
Plant-insect interactions in fragmented landscapes. (2004, background): “This was shown for carabid beetles, dung beetles, butterflies, and solitary bees (4, 16, 22, 45, 46, 70, 143, 144).”
Potential distribution modelling, niche characterization and conservation status assessment using GIS tools: A case study of Iberian Copris species (2005, background): “…but protection provided by new sites included in the future Natura 2000 Network will improve the general conservation status of these species in CM. 2004 Published by Elsevier Ltd. Keywords: Copris; Iberian Peninsula; Dung beetle conservation; GIS predictive niche-modelling; Species distribution”
Global dung beetle response to tropical forest modification and fragmentation: A quantitative literature review and meta-analysis (2007, background): “The functional contribution of smaller species (even in high abundance) is greatly reduced relative to large-bodied species, which bury disproportionately more dung and secondarily disperse more plant seeds (Andresen, 2003 and Larsen et al., 2005).”
