	abstract = {The emergence of Musca tempestiva Fallen, from cow pads in southern France was reduced by a mean of 98\% and 96\% respectively in nine experiments concluded in 1979 and 1981, by the action of the complete dung fauna. Fauna emerging from dung pads and captured in simultaneous trapping using dung baited pitfall traps consisted of 13 Dipterous species (9 Muscidae, 2-Sepsidae and 2 Sphaeroceridae), 25-Coleopterous species (7 Scarabaeidae, 1 Geotrupidae, 2 Aphodiidae, 3 Hydrophilidae, 12 Staphylinidae), 3 Hymenopterous parasites and 1 species of macrochelid and 2 species of parasitoid mites carried phoretically by the dung beetles. The total number of insects and mites per trap was usually small. The Staphylinidae which included 4 Aleochara species of which Aleochara tristits Gravenhorst and A. bipustulata (L.) are known parasitoids of Diptera pupae, and 6 predatory species, were the most abundant insects present. Whilst the overall abundance of insects and mites trapped was relatively low it is probable that the most important factor in the control of M. tempestiva was the combined influence of the different elements making up the dung pad fauna.},

	abstract = {Seasonal variations in numbers and biomass and breeding of 28 species of Scarabaeidae-Scarabaeinae and Geotrupidae were studied at 2 temperate sites and 2 mediterranean sites in southern France in 1978 and 1979, using cattle-dung baited pitfall traps. Maximum dung burial occurred when females were parous and ovipositing (i.e. during spring at the mediterranean sites and summer at the temperate sites). Using biomass as a measure of dung burial the most important spring active beetles at the mediterranean sites were: Bubas bison, B. bubalus, Scarabaeus laticollis, Onthophagus lemur and Copris hispanus, and at the temperate sites : C. lunar;s, O. vacca, and O. ovatus. These results confirmed the previous choice of C. hispanus, C. lunar;s, B. bison and O. vacca for introduction into Australia. In addition it is suggested that B. bubalus, S. laticollis and O. lemur be considered for introduction into mediterranean areas of south western Australia to complement those species already introduced for bush fly control.},

In pads of cattle dung containing only the native fauna, fly survival ranged from 0.3 \% to 12.5 \%. The addition of 2 species of exotic dung beetles, Euoniticellus fulvus (Goeze) and Onthophagus taurus (Schreber) to field pads, in numbers similar to those observed at the collection site, reduced fly survival to between 0.3 \% and 4.4 \%. Fly survival in the presence of the native and exotic dung fauna was sufficiently low to keep fly },
