We analysed the accumulation of information over time for a group of dung beetle species in the Iberian Peninsula. To do this, we used all available information about the distribution of the group as well as data on selected species to examine if the process of discovery of species distribution has occurred in a climatically or spatially structured fashion. Our results show the existence of a well-defined pattern of temporal growth in distributional information; due to this, the date of capture of each specimen can be explained by the environmental and spatial variables associated to the collection sites. We hypothesize that such temporal biases could be the rule rather than the exception in most distribu- tional data. These biases could affect the weighting of environmental factors that influence species distributions, as well as the accuracy of predictive distribution models. Systematic surveys should be a priority for the description of species geographical ranges in order to make robust predictions about the consequences of habitat and climate change for their persistence and conservation. 10aBiodiversity databases10acollecting biases10adistribution maps10aDung beetles10aIberian Peninsula10aspatial distribution10aspecies distribution ranges1 aLobo, Jorge, M.1 aBaselga, Andres1 aHortal, Joaquin1 aJimenez-Valverde, Alberto1 aGomez, Jose, F.  uhttps://scarabnet.myspecies.info/how-does-knowledge-about-spatial-distribution-iberian-dung-beetle-species-accumulate-over-time02623nas a2200229   4500008004100000245016100041210006900202300001200271490000600283520177100289653000802060653001702068653003202085653002502117653001802142653001702160653001002177100002002187700002502207700002302232856013802255       2001                        eng d00aDiversity, distinctiveness and conservation status of the Mediterranean coastal dung beetle assemblage in the Regional Natural Park of the Camargue (France)0 aDiversity distinctiveness and conservation status of the Mediter  a257-2700 v73 aThe Mediterranean region as a whole has the highest dung beetle species richness within Europe. Natural coastal habitats in this region are among those which have suffered severe human disturbance. We studied dung beetle divers- ity and distinctiveness within one of the most important coastal protected areas in the west Euro- Mediterranean region (the regional Park of Camargue, southern France) and made comparisons of dung beetle assemblages with other nearby Mediterra- nean localities, as well as with other coastal pro- tected area (Doñana National Park, Spain). Our finding showed that: (1) The species richness of coastal habitats in the Camargue is low and only grasslands showed a similar level of species rich- ness and abundance to inland habitats of other Mediterranean localities. The unique habitats of the coastal area (beaches, dunes and marshes) are largely colonized by species widely distributed in the hinterland. (2) In spite of their low general distinctiveness, dune and marsh edges are charac- terized by the occurrence of two rare, vulnerable, specialized and large roller dung beetle species of the genus Scarabaeus. As with other Mediterranean localities, current findings suggest a recent decline of Scarabaeus  populations and the general loss of coastal dung beetle communities in Camargue. (3) The comparison of dung beetle assemblages between the Camargue and Doñana shows that, in spite of the low local dung beetle species rich- ness in the Camargue, the regional dung beetle diversity is similar between both protected areas. Unique historical and geographical factors can explain the convergence in regional diversity as well as the striking divergence in the composition of dung beetle assemblages between both territories.10aDon10aDung beetles10ainsect coastal conservation10aMediterranean region10aScarabaeoidea10athe Camargue10ãana1 aLobo, Jorge, M.1 aLumaret, Jean-Pierre1 aJay-Robert, Pierre  uhttps://scarabnet.myspecies.info/diversity-distinctiveness-and-conservation-status-mediterranean-coastal-dung-beetle-assemblage-regio
