“…Many studies have understood that dung removed and buried by dung beetles has many ecological benefits. The most important of these are soil fertilization and aeration, improvement of the nutritional cycle, intake of nutrients by plants, increased meadow quality, intestinal parasites [12,13,14,15,16] and biological control of harmful flies [9], increasing plant yield [10], soil bioperturbation, and pollination [11,22] Due to their mentioned ecological niches, these insects have been proposed as an ideal group for biodiversity inventories and imaging [9,17,18].…”
Insects are amazing creatures used to determine the biodiversity of terrestrial ecosystems. It is well known that the order Coleoptera, which includes dung beetles, has a wide variety of species. Thus, depending on the three elevations of the Eskişehir Bozdağ region, the fauna of the subfamily Aphodiinae was studied in this study. As a result, this study included 14 species and 3 subspecies from 12 genera that are members of the Scarabaeidae subfamily Aphodiinae. The first records for the province of Eskişehir are Volinus sticticus (Panzer 1798), Esymus pusillus pusillus (Herbst, 1789), Nimbus johnsoni (Baraud, 1976), and Euorodalus paracoenosus (Balthasar & Hrubant 1960). Furthermore, three new species have been recorded for the Central Anatolia Region: Nimbus johnsoni (Baraud, 1976), Esymus pusillus pusillus (Herbst, 1789), and Volinus sticticus (Panzer, 1798).

“…After this work, several researchers have started to work on Turkish Scarabaeidae fauna. Thus there has been significant progress up to date (Anlaş, 2011;Anlaş et al, 2011bAnlaş et al, , 2011aKüçükkaykı et al, 2013;Lodos et al, 1989Lodos et al, , 1999Lodos et al, , 2003Özgen et al, 2014, 2014Pehlivan, 1988Pehlivan, , 1989Senyuz et al, 2019;Şenyüz, 2015, 2017Şenyüz, Dindar, Altunsoy, 2013;Şenyüz, Dindar, Gülmez, et al, 2013;Şenyüz et al, 2016, 2017Şenyüz Şahin, 2009a, 2009b.…”
Aphodiinae subfamily is represented with 6762 species and subspecies belonging to 521 genera in the Palearctic region. This family is presented by taxa of 61 genera and 161 species and subspecies in Turkey. Nineteen species are endemic to Turkey. Scarabaeidae family members can be fed on different types of food. Aphodiinae members are usually recorded from cow dung. So, they are called coprophagous insects. They play an important role in the nitrogen cycle. This study was conducted in Sündiken Mountains in Eskişehir province of Turkey, from 2011 to 2013 years. The Sündiken Mountains are rich in plant diversity and variable micro climate. Study area visited 13 different time 40 days. The samples were caught with pitfall traps, light traps and directly by hand or forceps. The aim of this study is to reveal the Aphodiinae fauna on Sündiken mountains, which is one of the important biodiversity areas in Turkey. Due to Aphodiinae's ecological roles and their largest number in Scarabaeidae family, study focused on them. The paper presented original records of 29 species where recorded from Eskisehir province. Nineteen new city records given from this province. The species distribution maps for Turkey, aedeagus and habitus photographs were presented in the study.
Insects are generally dominant in terrestrial ecosystems and play a role in ecologically important functions and ecological processes. Dung beetles (Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) are essential for the first decomposition, especially in forest/pasture ecosystems. This study aims to determine the faunistic data of the subfamily Scarabaeinae (Scarabaeidae: Coleoptera) depending on three different altitudes in the Bozdağlar region of Eskişehir. In this study, the pitfall trap method collected 34 species and six subspecies belonging to 10 genera belonging to the Scarabaeinae subfamily of the Scarabaeidae family. Cheironitis haroldi Ballion, 1871, Caccobius. mundus Ménétriés, 1839, Onthophagus.
