They also form the eastern and northern limits, respectively, of climate types extending westwards across Central and West Africa and southwards into Southern Africa. This climatic convergence made East Africa an ideal area to survey for dung beetles (Scarabaeinae, Copinae) useful as control agents of dung-breeding flies in Australia where a similar range fox climatic regions occurs. Similarities in climatic range between the 104 species showing the broadest frequency distributions were determined using cluster analysis and depicted on a dendrogram. Three groups were defined at the 25% level of similarity. One group comprised a single montane species endemic to East Africa. A second group (41 spp.) was numerically dominated by East Africa endemics and associated with endemic East African lowland and Southern African climate types. The third group (62 spp.) was primarily associated with upland climate types. Three upland subgroups, defined at the 43% level of similarity, were dominated by East African endemics and were associated both with endemic East African highland and more broad-based climate types. A fourth subgroup was dominated by climate generalists showing widespread tropical and temperate biogeographical associations. Overall, the most common distribution patterns were East African endemism, range restricted to East and Southern Africa, and pan-African distribution. On the criterion of widespread distribution, about a third of the East African fauna was especially suitable for introduction into Austrailian for fly control.10aBiogeography- (Population-Studies)10aClimatology- (Environmental-Sciences)10aDigestive-System (Ingestion-and-Assimilation)10aEcology- (Environmental-Sciences)10aEconomic-Entomology10aPest-Assessment-Control-and-Management10aPhysiology-10aSystematics-and-Taxonomy1 aDavis, Adrian, L.

The main insect groups found were in the families Histeridae, Staphylinidae, Hymenoptera (mostly ants) and Isoptera. Histerid populations were greater on dung pats from the rainy season, while Staphylinidae and Hymenoptera and Isoptera were more frequenton dung pats during the dry season. Histeridae, Staphylinidae, Hymenoptera werefound mostly in older droppings, except for the oldest ones, where Isoptera were typically found.10aAnimalia-10aArthropoda-10aColeoptera-: Insecta-10aDigestive-System (Ingestion-and-Assimilation)10aDiptera-: Insecta-10aEcology- (Environmental-Sciences)10aEconomic-Entomology10aInver10aInvertebrata-10aPathology-10aPest-Assessment-Control-and-Management1 aFlechtmann, Carlos, Alberto He1 aRodrigues, Sergio, Roberto1 aGaspareto, Celso, Luiz  uhttps://scarabnet.myspecies.info/biological-control-horn-fly-haematobia-irritans-irritans-selviria-mato-grosso-do-sul-state-6-populat
