In this scenario, an alternative agricultural practice that may reduce the impacts of fragmentation in outer landscapes is a perforation process, which involves conservation in agricultural fields surrounded by continuous forests. Such practices enhance the positive impact of ecological services on fields. In this study we analyzed the biological diversity state in perforation fields and their surrounding forests. The analysis was done using dung beetles as biological indicators. A nested pattern in dung beetles distribution was found, which ordered the surrounding continuous forest sites as the ones with the highest species richness, followed by the perforation fields, and placed the fragmentation practice fields (continuous agricultural fields surrounding forest patches) with the lowest one. Indicator species for perforation fields and surrounding continuous forests were chosen. In general, perforation practice fields differed in composition, based upon functional groups richness and identity; it also contained a higher species richness than the fragmentation practice. Agricultural practices that enhance biological diversity conservation such as perforation, should be recommended and considered in natural resource management by local communities in order to take advantage of ecological services that otherwise may be gradually lost.10abiological diversity10aDung beetles10afragmentation10afunctional groups10alandscape10anestedness10aperforation practice1 aAvendano-Mendoza, Carlos1 aMoron-Rios, Alejandro1 aCano, Enio, B.1 aLeon-Cortes, Jorge, L.  u<Go to ISI>://00022850380000200494nas a2200109   4500008004100000245010400041210006900145300001200214490000700226100001900233856013200252       1998                        eng d00aDeltochilum valgum acropyge Bates (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae): habits and distribution0 aDeltochilum valgum acropyge Bates Coleoptera Scarabaeidae Scarab  a174-1780 v521 aCano, Enio, B.  uhttps://scarabnet.myspecies.info/deltochilum-valgum-acropyge-bates-coleoptera-scarabaeidae-scarabaeinae-habits-and-distribution01080nas a2200133   4500008004100000245008900041210006900130300001000199490000600209520058500215100002300800700001900823856010400842       2006                        eng d00aWhat can Scarabaeoidea contribute to the knowledge of the biogeography of Guatemala?0 aWhat can Scarabaeoidea contribute to the knowledge of the biogeo  a57-700 v53 aScarabaeoidea is one of the biogeographically best known groups of organisms for Nuclear Central America, especially Guatemala. They have been used to determine areas of endemism for cloud forests of the region and to analyze relationships among these endemic areas. A major north-south division of these areas is described. Lowland scenarios are also given. This information was used for justifying the establishment of biological reserves in the area and is a tool available for prioritization of reserve establishment that could be adapted to other parts of the world as well. 1 aSchuster, Jack, C.1 aCano, Enio, B.  uhttps://scarabnet.myspecies.info/what-can-scarabaeoidea-contribute-knowledge-biogeography-guatemala
