The maximum size of ingested ball-shaped particles was determined in three species of adult dung feeding beetle: Anoplotrupes (Geotrupes) stercorosus and Geotrupes spiniger (Geotrupidae, Geotrupinae) and Sphaeridium lunatum (Hydrophilidae, Sphaeridii

Most adult dung beetles (Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) feed on fresh, wet dung of larger herbivorous or omnivorous mammals. As refractory plant fragments are selected out before ingestion, the food is presumed easily digestible. However, members of the

Dry conditions limit microbial decomposition of plant litter in deserts, which leaves a primary role to detritivorous macroarthropods. In the sandy arid strip along the west coast of South Africa, such detritivores include the large scarabaeid dung b

1. Most adult coprophagous beetles feed on fresh dung of mammalian herbivores, confining ingestion to small particles with measured maximum diameters from 2–5 to 130 μm, according to body size and kind of beetle. This study explores benefits and c

1. The maximum size of ingested particles was determined in 11 species of ball-rolling, adult dung beetle (Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) by mixing small latex or glass balls of known diameter into their food. The tribes Scarabaeini, Gymnopleurini, and

Earthworms in pastureland may be exposed to residues of veterinary medicines excreted in the faeces of treated cattle. Possible sub-lethal effects of these drugs on life history characteristics are critical to earthworm populations, but there are no

The disappearance of artificially formed dung pats of grazing cattle treated with sustained-release boluses containing either ivermectin or fenbendazole was compared with the disappearance of pats of untreated cattle through two successive grazing se

1. Published studies of the highly specialized mouthparts of adult scarabaeid dung beetles have proposed that the beetles feed on (1) liquid with minute particles, squeezed out of the dung by the mandibular molars, and/or (2) dung particles that are

It has been suggested that discontinuous gas exchange cycles (DGCs) in insects evolved in response to hypoxic and/or hypercapnic environments, and that the flutter phase of the DGC is predominantly diffusive. We tested these hypotheses by examining t
