We reviewed the use of dung beetles as indicators of environmental change, highlighting the influence of natural forest dynamics on species distributions in primary forest and suggesting new ways in which this can be used to understand and interpret the effects of disturbance such as logging. These ideas were applied to rainforest dung beetle communities in Sabah, Malaysia. 2. Dung beetle samples, using baited pitfall and flight intercept traps, were examined from primary, logged and plantation forests. Cluster analysis on dung beetle assemblages from primary forest samples showed clear species associations that had a high degree of fidelity to a particular biotope or vegetation type. Beetles were grouped into riverine- edge, riverine, interior-primary and 'even' (equitable distribution between biotopes) associations. Although biotope- specific associations were spatially separate in primary forest, these associations overlapped at forest margins (riverine forest) and in logged forest (to form 'composite assemblages'). 3. Species associations showed different responses to disturbance: the riverine association included many species that showed a positive response to at least some types of disturbance, whereas others were neutral or negative in response; the even association species were mostly neutral; the primary forest associations were almost entirely negative in response. 4. The greatest faunal similarities were found between logged forest and riverine assemblages. Diversity was lower in logged compared with primary forest, and the lowest species richness and diversity were recorded in plantation forest. Small-scale species richness in logged forest was generally higher than in individual transects from primary forest due to the presence of overlapping species ranges (composite assemblages) that were usually spatially separate in primary forest. Data suggested that increased species richness at a fine scale does not necessarily mean that species richness is greater at a larger scale, and that species mixing in derived ecosystems is dependent on the type of disturbance. Forest management should aim to minimize the mixing of the components of different biotopes, by implementing low impact (i.e. reduced-impact logging) harvesting techniques.10aDung beetles1 aDavis, A., J.1 aHolloway, J., D.1 aHuijbregts, H.1 aKrikken, J.1 aKirk-Spriggs, A., H.1 aSutton, S., L.  u<Go to ISI>://00016947990000900695nas a2200145   4500008004100000245016800041210006900209260004400278300001200322653001700334100002000351700001900371700002100390856013800411       1990                        eng d00aInsect abundance and diversity in the Dumoga-Bone National Park, N.Sulawesi, with special reference to the beetle fauna of lowland rain forest in the Toraut region0 aInsect abundance and diversity in the DumogaBone National Park N  aLondonbThe Royal Entomological Society  a197-25410aDung beetles1 aHammond, P., M.1 aKnight, W., J.1 aHolloway, J., D.  uhttps://scarabnet.myspecies.info/insect-abundance-and-diversity-dumoga-bone-national-park-nsulawesi-special-reference-beetle-fauna-lo00630nas a2200181   4500008004100000245007900041210006900120300001200189653001500201653002500216653001200241653001800253100001500271700001600286700001900302700002100321856010600342       1990                        eng d00aElevational distributions of dung and carrion beetles in northern Sulawesi0 aElevational distributions of dung and carrion beetles in norther  a145-15210aarthropods10aColeopterans/Beetles10ainsects10aInvertebrates1 aHanski, I.1 aNiemela, J.1 aKnight, W., J.1 aHolloway, J., D.  uhttps://scarabnet.myspecies.info/elevational-distributions-dung-and-carrion-beetles-northern-sulawesi01319nas a2200169   4500008004100000245009100041210006900132260001100201300001200212490000800224520077700232653004401009100002101053700002401074700001701098856003401115       1992                        eng d00aThe Response of Some Rain-Forest Insect Groups to Logging and Conversion to Plantation0 aResponse of Some RainForest Insect Groups to Logging and Convers  cMar 30  a425-4360 v3353 aData and analyses from pilot studies in the Danum area of Sabah, East Malaysia, and elsewhere in the Indo-Australian tropics are used to measure the effects of logging and other human disturbance, such as conversion to plantation, on insect diversity. The two insect groups studied have very different trophic requirements: moths, with floristically specific herbivory, and dung and carrion beetles, exploiting resources of much more uniform quality over different forest systems. Moths show significant loss of diversity and taxonomic quality with disturbance and conversion to plantation. The beetles show much less change in diversity and faunistic composition. The implications for conservation of biodiversity are discussed, and suggestions for further work are made.10aforest change biodiversity dung beetles1 aHolloway, J., D.1 aKirkspriggs, A., H.1 aKhen, C., V.  u<Go to ISI>://A1992HN46100011
