The distribution of beetles in relation to vegetative cover and dung type was examined in an experiment, in which pitfall traps were baited with a range of dung types in a variety of contrasting habitats, and by qualitative survey. The beetle community consisted of nine indigenous species (six Onthophagus and one Aphodius species (Scarabaeidae), two Saprinus species (Histeridae)) and two introduced species (Cercyon (Hydrophilidae) and Aphodius). Seven species were diurnal and four were noctural/crepuscular. Five species were strongly associated with woodland and the remainder occurred primarily in open pasture. All species were substantially more abundant in traps baited with human dung than in those baited with herbivore dung. Some species were caught at human dung almost exclusively. There were no obvious effects of herbivore dung type (cow, horse, marsupial, sheep) on the numbers caught in traps. Beetles were more numerous in cattle paddocks than in sheep paddocks. Four indigenous species which are common in cattle dung in open pasture (Onthophagus australis Guerin, Onthophagus granulatus Boheman, Onthophagus posticus Erichson and Aphodius tasmaniae Hope) have niche characteristics that make them potential competitors with exotic species to be introduced from the mainland.10aDung beetles1 aDoube, B., M.1 aWardhaugh, K., G.  u<Go to ISI>://A1991GL0100000100820nas a2200181   4500008004100000245023100041210006900272300001200341490000800353653001600361653002200377653001500399653001300414653002500427100002200452700002600474856013800500       1988                        eng d00aThe effctes of the antiparasitic drug ivermectin on the development and survival of the dung-breeding fly Orthelia cornicina (F.) and the scarabaeine dung beetles Copris hispanus L., Bubas bubalus (Oliver) and Onitis belial F.0 aeffctes of the antiparasitic drug ivermectin on the development   a381-3890 v10610adung beetle10aecosystem service10aIVERMECTIN10aparasite10atoxicity dung beetle1 aWardhaugh, K., G.1 aRodriguez-Menendez, H  uhttps://scarabnet.myspecies.info/effctes-antiparasitic-drug-ivermectin-development-and-survival-dung-breeding-fly-orthelia-cornicina-
