Insect communities of mammal dung have been known as excellent model ecosystems for scientific study. Ecological surveys of diversity and seasonal patterns of coprophilous rove beetles in relation to wild mammals have rarely been conducted, although the high potential species diversity and abundance of the rove beetles are known. In order to investigate biodiversity of these beetles, we analyzed species composition, abundance, feeding guild and seasonality of rove beetles that were attracted to sika deer Cervus nippon dung by using dung‐baited pitfall traps for a 1.5‐year study in two plantations (cypress, cedar) and one secondary natural forest (pine) in Fukuoka Prefecture, southwest Japan. Consequently, saprophagous Anotylus sp. (Oxytelinae) was dominant in all forests. Analyses of feeding guild structure showed the number of individuals were dominated by saprophagous beetles, but the number of species were dominated by predatory beetles. Seasonal effects suggested that the species richness and abundance of rove beetles are possibly regulated by scarabaeoid dung beetles. These findings feature one example of a coprophilous rove beetle community.

“…Por el contrario, para la familia Staphylinidae, aunque en los últimos años se ha incrementado su conocimiento, aún hace falta trabajo taxonómico que permita conocer mejor la diversidad de estafilínidos. Los estudios sobre este grupo han sido llevados a cabo en gradientes o en mosaicos de diferentes tipos de vegetación (Márquez, 2003;Caballero et al, 2009;Jiménez-Sánchez et al, 2011;Caballero & León-Cortés, 2012;Jiménez-Sánchez et al, 2013;Rodríguez et al, 2019) y han arrojado datos importantes sobre la composición de los ensambles y los cambios asociados con la perturbación o con el manejo del suelo que induce un cambio de la cubierta terrestre, lo que ha permitido tentativamente correlacionar las diferencias de la riqueza y composición de especies con las características del hábitat, así como aumentar el conocimiento para algunas especies de las determinantes ambientales, hábitos alimentarios, altitud, entre otros aspectos que influyen en su distribución. Por lo tanto, en el presente estudio se investiga como el tipo de uso de suelo determina la abundancia, riqueza y diversidad de las familias de coleópteros necrófilos y epígeos (Staphylinidae, Silphidae y Trogidae) en un gradiente urbano-agrícola.…”

2019) Variación de la diversidad de Staphylinidae, Silphidae y Trogidae (Insecta: Coleoptera) en un gradiente urbano-agrícola en una región semiárida del Estado de México, México. Acta Zoológica Mexicana (nueva serie), 35, 1-16. https://doi.org/10.21829/azm.2019.3502152RESUMEN. Se estudió el efecto del uso de suelo sobre la diversidad de coleópteros necrófilos y epigeos en una zona semiárida del Estado de México, poniendo a prueba la siguiente hipótesis: las áreas dedicadas a la producción agrícola representan un refugio para las especies de Staphylinidae, Trogidae y Silphidae. Para lo cual se realizaron muestreos mensuales durante un año con trampas de caída y trampas tipo NTP-80 cebadas con carroña. Ambas trampas fueron distribuidas en tres localidades con diferente uso de suelo (zona agrícola, zona suburbana y zona urbana). En la zona agrícola la abundancia y riqueza fueron mayores, y la diversidad fue significativamente menor que lo registrado en la zona suburbana y urbana, debido a que en la zona agrícola dos especies (Nicrophorus mexicanus Mattews, 1888 y Belonuchus sp.) concentraron el 70% de la abundancia, mientras que en las otras dos zonas las especies tuvieron mayor equidad. El recambio espacial de especies y el anidamiento contribuyeron de manera similar en la variación de la composición del ensamble de especies entre los sitios, la zona agrícola albergó el 70.6% de las especies que estuvieron presentes tanto en la zona urbana como en la zona suburbana o en alguna de éstas, así como un mayor número de especies con afinidad alta por este sitio, lo que sugiere que la zona agrícola funciona como refugio de las especies de coleópteros necrófilos y epigeos que se distribuyen en esta región semiárida, cuyas poblaciones se vieron favorecidas durante todo el año, debido al aporte constante de materia orgánica y humedad. Finalmente, en cuanto al inventario de especies, se registró a Belonuchus erichsoni Bernhauer, 1917 por primera vez para el Estado de México.

The effect of land use on the diversity of necrophilous and epigeal beetles in a semi-arid zone of the Estado de México was studied, we tested the following hypothesis: areas dedicated to agricultural production represent a refuge for species of Staphylinidae, Trogidae and Silphidae. Monthly sampling was carried out during one year with pitfall and carrion traps. Traps were distributed in three locations with different land use (agricultural, suburban and urban area). In the agricultural zone the abundance and richness were greater,...

Despite high diversity levels of beetles inhabiting dung and carcasses, very few studies have attempted a comparative assessment of copro-necrophile beetle communities in relation to spatio-temporal variations, particularly in the tropics where the vast majority of beetles occur. We compared beetle assemblages attracted to pads of cattle dung and rat carcasses in four contrasting vegetation types associated with oak forest. In a total of 52 transects including 3,952 dung pad days and 2,600 carcass-trap days we recorded 14,989 beetles representing 406 species and 33 families. Necrophiles (323 species and 33 families) were considerably more diverse than coprophiles (172 species and 16 families). Staphylinidae were taxonomically and numerically dominant, comprising 45% of species and 66% of individuals, respectively. Species estimators (Chao 2) suggested that the observed beetle richness represented 68% of coprophile and 56% of necrophile species richness, with rare species constituting the majority of the species: singletons and doubletons = 89 species (52%) of coprophiles and 166 species (51%) of necrophiles. Beetle assemblages varied in diversity and composition as regards to vegetation type and season: samples from less disturbed vegetation types (continuous oak forest and ravines) had higher beetle diversity, and a strong seasonality effect was recorded for necrophiles, but not for coprophiles. In addition, an indicator value analysis (IndVal), showed that relatively preserved vegetation types recorded more indicator species as compared to disturbed sites. Our studies clearly demonstrates that the least fragmented oak forest and ravine are the most valuable areas for necrophile and coprophile beetles in Neotropical Mexico, especially for specialist beetles.
