Data were obtained from March 1998 to March 1999 in tropical rain forest, induced pasture land and secondary vegetation, between 400-1000 m above sea level. Records of 7 subfamilies, 18 subtribus, 34 genera and 63 species are presented. The greatest specific diversity corresponds to Dynastinae (21 spp), Melolonthinae (13 spp), Scarabaeidae (13 spp) and Passalinae (8 spp). The 50% of the species are concentrated in the genera: Phyllophaga (9 spp), Cyclocephala (9 spp), Onthophagus (5 spp), Ataenius (3 spp), Passalus (3 spp) and Anomala (2 spp). We present a parsimony analysis of endemicity in order to know the relationships between the fauna of Cuetzalan and other Mexican localities. The fauna of Cuetzalan de Progreso is closely related to the fauna of the humid mountains of the northeast of Hidalgo. A key to the taxa found in Cuetzalan del Progreso is included. 10adiversity10aMexico10aScarabaeidae10aSierra Madre Oriental10ataxonomy1 aCarrillo-Ruiz, Hortensia1 aMoron, Miguel-Angel  uhttps://scarabnet.myspecies.info/fauna-de-coleoptera-scarabaeoidea-de-cuetzalan-del-progreso-puebla-mexico03032nas a2200337   4500008004100000245012100041210006900162260000800231300001000239490000700249520210400256653001702360653002602377653001502403653001402418653001702432653001702449653001402466653000902480653002602489653001802515653001602533653001002549653001702559653001702576653001702593653001802610653001102628100002102639856003402660       2002                        eng d00aDung beetle diversity in South Africa: influential factors, conservation status, data inadequacies and survey design0 aDung beetle diversity in South Africa influential factors conser  cMar  a53-650 v103 aDung beetles are useful as indicators in conservation and global warming studies owing to their specialized regional and local distribution patterns. However, existing South African data are inadequate for indication at the necessary degree of spatial resolution. To improve the database, Survey methods need to Lie designed according to the spatial and temporal factors that influence dung beetle diversity. Across four major climatic regions, there are seven principal species distribution centres for dung beetles in which activity is influenced primarily by difference, in rainfall seasonality and temperature, Across these regions, generic endemism is largely concentrated around the coastline and in montane areas. The conservation status of endemic genera is discussed. At a local scale, spatial diversity is influenced primarily by soil, vegetation and dung type. Maximum local diversity of dung beetles is observed after rainfall and decreases as surface conditions become warmer and drier. After workshop discussions, a coarse-grained, asymmetrical gradsect survey grid has been designed according to vegetative, climatic and land-usage gradients across South Africa. It is suggested that each survey point across these regional gradients should comprise a quarter-degree square in which local ecological gradients should be surveyed for invertebrates, Baited pitfall trapping is an easy method to provide quantitative data for dung beetles across such environmental gradients. Lining up each catch on a tray provides a relatively quick way to compare the specimens, identify the species present, and provide a quantitative assessment of species abundance. Data collection may be conducted on one or more occasion., to accommodate seasonal and daily variation in species occurrence. This exercise could identify localities suitable for ecotourism reserves representative of the variation in ecotypes across the country, particularly, in coastal, natural grass and wooded regions, where many invertebrate taxa are endangered by habitat fragmentation including some rare dung beetle species.10aassociations10abiodiversity hotspots10aCOLEOPTERA10acommunity10aconsequences10aconservation10adiversity10aDung10ahabitat fragmentation10ahydrophilidae10apopulations10as str10aScarabaeidae10aScarabaeinae10asouth africa10astaphylinidae10asurvey1 aDavis, A., L.

The accuracy of spatial richness variation predictions based on area size was also checked. The log-log model (log S = c + z log A) was found to be the best-fit linear model, with slopes (z) ranging from 0.089 to 0.142. Between-group comparisons of z (slope) and q (intercept) parameters, using the S = q + cA(Z) curvilinear regression model, corroborated early results, indicating a lower beta-diversity (slope) for Scarabaeinae than for Geotrupinae and Aphodiinae. The latter group, probably more sensitive to environmental heterogeneity, should contribute more to species richness in large areas. alpha-Diversity is greater for Aphodiinae, more relevant to local diversity (1 km(2)), than for Scarabaeinae and considerably greater for these two groups than for Geotrupinae. As earlier results show that the richness of a single dung pat is rather more a function of the Scarabaeinae species pool, richness on dung pat scales is probably due more to the between-dropping mobile Scarabaeinae, while Aphodiinae contribute mainly to local and regional pool richness. Nearly 88 % of the total richness variance is explained by area size. This percentage decreases to 37 % when the spatial structure of area size and species number are extracted. The corresponding figures for Scarabaeinae, Aphodiinae and Geotrupinae are 44, 22 and 31 %, respectively.

Pitfall traps were used to data collection. Richness, abundance and diversity of species were calculated, during the rain season. 2358 individuals of 22 species were captured. For the three sections Canthidium cupreum was the most dominant species. 27,3% from the total species is specific from a section, 40,9% was found in two of the three sections, and 31,8% is generalists. Brillouin index showed that the forest section of 5 years of alteration has the highest diversity with 1233 individuals and 16 species, followed by the forest section of 1 year with 607 individuals and 14 species and finally the forest section of 50 years with 518 individuals and 15 species. These results indicate that a proportional relation among conservation of a forest and dung beetles diversity does not exist, and suggests a positive correlation among transformed areas and high diversity index results. Probably selective deforestation is contributing to conserve dung beetles populations inside this ecosystem, and also to maintain functional processes for this kind of forests. 10aalteration10adiversity10agallery forest10aOrinoquia.10aScarabaeidae1 aNoriega, Jorge1 aRealpe, E.1 aFagua, Giovanny  uhttps://scarabnet.myspecies.info/diversidad-de-escarabajos-coprofagos-coleoptera-scarabaeidae-en-un-bosque-de-galeria-con-tres-estadi01756nas a2200217   4500008004100000245015200041210006900193300001000262490000600272520092900278653001701207653001401224653001701238653001401255653001701269100002901286700002801315700002801343700002901371856013801400       2003                        eng d00aEscarabajos coprofagos (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) del Parque Nacional Natural "Serrania de Chiribiquete", Caqueta, Colombia (Parte I)0 aEscarabajos coprofagos Coleoptera Scarabaeidae Scarabaeinae del   a51-580 v33 aWithin the project “Elaboration and implementation of the management plan of the Chiribiquete Natural Park” dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae Scarabaeinae) are being used  as an indicator group and also to establish similarities or differences between the landscape units of the Chiribiquete Natural Park. The results of the preliminary paper are given, which include  the first two expeditions launched  to the Mesay river basin, with five landscape units, and to the Sararamano river basin, with six landscape units. These landscape units were established with satellite images identified by color. A total of 4,620 individuals from 61 species and 14 genera were collected; there are differences, for  the richness and diversity values, between landscape units, and also the complementarity index shows differences between  some landscape units. Seven new species are new records for the Colombian Guyana region. 10aChiribiquete10adiversity10aDung beetles10alandscape10aScarabaeidae1 aHerrera, Luz, Astrid Pul1 aCanas, Raul, Antonio Ri1 aHarders, Fernando, Gast1 avon Hildebrand, Patricio  uhttps://scarabnet.myspecies.info/escarabajos-coprofagos-coleoptera-scarabaeidae-scarabaeinae-del-parque-nacional-natural-serrania-de-02241nas a2200193   4500008004100000245013000041210006900171260000800240300001200248490000700260520154000267653001401807653001601821653001501837653001701852100002401869700001601893856013801909       2006                        eng d00aComposicao e diversidade de Scarabaeoidea (Coleoptera) atraidos por armadilha de luz em area rural no norte do Parana, Brasil0 aComposicao e diversidade de Scarabaeoidea Coleoptera atraidos po  cmar  a103-1080 v963 a The most devastated environments in the State of Paraná are those with great agricultural potential, and most human interference actions on the environment are seldom preceded by a careful study of the fauna, which would reveal the diversity and abundance of animals in these areas.  This study aimed to describe the Scarabaeoidea fauna attracted by light traps in rural areas of the Tamarana County, Paraná, Brazil, and to contribute to the ecological knowledge on species of this group. The sampling was carried out quarterly, from March 2002 to April 2003,  in two rural  properties, using a modified “Luiz de Queiroz” light trap.  The light traps captured 2447 specimens, distributed into 10 families, 24 genera  and 67 species. The three most abundant species were also the most frequent: Aphodius lividus (Olivier, 1789), Melolonthidae sp. 1 e Ataenius  sp. 5. The highest A. lividus population density occurred in April, fall season, whereas Melolonthidae sp. 1 and Ataeucus were most frequently found in Octubre and November, spring. The majority of the species were represented by few individuals (H’= 1,74), and the distribution of individuals species was relatively uniform (J’= 0,95; S=0,20). A large number of families was recorded, and they were represented by few individuals. There was a predominance of families of detritivores - Aphodiidae, Scarabaeidae, Hybosoridae and phytophagus - Melolonthidae, Dynastidae and Rutilidae. The study collected  25 detritivore species among the 1422 specimen recorded. 10adiversity10alight trap.10arural area10aScarabaeidae1 aRonqui, Daniele, C.1 aLopes, Jose  uhttps://scarabnet.myspecies.info/composicao-e-diversidade-de-scarabaeoidea-coleoptera-atraidos-por-armadilha-de-luz-em-area-rural-no-00696nas a2200181   4500008004100000245012500041210006900166300001200235490000700247653001400254653002100268653001200289653001700301100001800318700001900336700002100355856013800376       2003                        eng d00aSpecies composition and diversity of scarab beetle (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea) communities at Dongling Mountain, Beijing0 aSpecies composition and diversity of scarab beetle Coleoptera Sc  a179-1870 v1110adiversity10aDogling mountain10ahabitat10aScarabaeidae1 aXiao-Dong, Yu1 aTian-Hong, Luo1 aHong-Zhang, Zhou  uhttps://scarabnet.myspecies.info/species-composition-and-diversity-scarab-beetle-coleoptera-scarabaeoidea-communities-dongling-mounta
