In an all-year-round survey of coprophagous beetles in a pasture in the Kaiserstuhl area (SW-Germany), cow-pats and sheep lumps were gathered from two field areas and one wooded area twice a month. 40,298 beetles belonging to 40 species of Scarabaeoidea and 14 of Hydrophilidae were detected. The small site on the Kaiserstuhl has the highest species diversity of Scarabaeoidea species among all local dung beetle coenoses described in Europe thus far. 2. In all seasons of the year, population density and biomass of dung beetles were higher on the open pastures than in the wooded pasture. Only in summer and on the coldest days of winter, values of both macrohabitats were approximately the same, which might be due to the mediated climate of wooded habitats in those seasons. 3. 11 out of 29 abundant species showed a clear preference for open macrohabitats, while only four preferred the wooded macrohabitat. All other species were eurytopic. Faunistic similarity was low among all three macrohabitats and did not show closer relationships between the two open pastures than between both of them and the wooded pasture. 4. Sheep lumps were more densely populated than cow-pats, whereas the latter contained a higher biomass in dung beetles. The cow-pat community was higher in species number as well as in diversity. Faunistic similarity between both dung beetle communities was minimal. 5. 13 out of 32 abundant dung beetle species preferred each dung type. Mean size of Scarabaeoidea dung beetles preferring sheep lumps was significantly lower than of those preferring cow-pats. Regardless their size difference, all but one Hydrophilidae species showed a pronounced preference for cow-pats. 6. Selection of the spatial habitats played a minor role in compartmentation of the total niche space of the dung beetle community as compared to temporal niche dimensions such as seasonality. As in the case of seasonality, Aphodius was best separated within the genus.10aAnimalia-10aArthropoda-10aBovidae-: Artiodactyla-10aChordata-10aClimatology- (Environmental-Sciences)10aColeoptera-: Insecta-10acow- (Bovi10aEcology- (Environmental-Sciences)10aInvertebrata-10aMammalia-10aMetabolism-10aNutrition-10aPhysiology-10aVertebrata-1 aWassmer, Thomas  uhttps://scarabnet.myspecies.info/selection-spatial-habitat-coprophagous-beetles-kaiserstuhl-area-near-freiburg-se-germany00901nas a2200157   4500008004100000245006600041210006400107260000900171300001000180490000700190520038100197100002000578700002600598700002200624856009700646       1994                        eng d00aDungbewohnende blatthornkafer (Scarabaeoidea) und Wasserkafer0 aDungbewohnende blatthornkafer Scarabaeoidea und Wasserkafer  cjuly  a75-830 v163 aIn an all-the-year-round survey on the coprophagous beetles of a submediterranian pasture at the Kaiserstuhl (SW-Germany), dung pads were collected twice a month (1st, 15th) and the beetles within were extracted by the method of flotation.
