“…In contrast, our findings suggest a species identity effect, driven by a single forest species with a high contribution to dung removal (Buse & Entling, 2020; Kaartinen et al, 2013; Slade et al, 2011). The large‐bodied Geotrupidae A. stercorosus , a forest specialist (Frank et al, 2017; Rössner, 2012) reaching highest densities in closed forests (Buse & Entling, 2020; Hülsmann et al, 2020), was the most common species in all experimental treatments contributing over 80% to total biomass. While A. stercorosus also occurred in open treatments, its abundance and hence its contribution to dung removal was lower, explaining the relationship between dung beetle biomass and dung removal (Buse & Entling, 2020) among treatments.…”

“…More recently, Geotrupidae have been seen as indicators of environmental conditions. The possibility of using Anoplotrupes stercorosus to monitor forest ecosystems has been described in several publications [19,21,22]. Thus, data on abundance and abundance of this species can be used to analyse the condition of forest ecosystems.…”
