Function of coprophagous beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae, Geotrupidae, Hydrophilidae) in cattle pastures inferred from pitfall trapping data.

Original language description

An analysis of data on the dry weight biomass of coprophagous beetles in standardized dung (4.5 l) was conducted in order to characterize the spatial and the seasonal distribution of the beetles? biomass in cattle pastures and to elucidate their functionin dung decomposition. Nested Anova with factors of farm, site (nested in farm), seasonal period and year was used to evaluate the effect of these factors on the biomass of four functional species groups: the dung dwellers of Scarabaeidae (subfamily Aphodiinae), the dung dwellers of Hydrophilidae, the small tunnellers of Scarabaeidae (subfamily Coprinae) and the large tunnellers of Geotrupidae. The spatial variation of biomass (between the sites and the farms) was insignificant (P > 0.05) in the two dung-dweller groups and in the large-tunnellers group. On the other hand, a significant (P < 0.05) seasonal variation of biomass was found in all but the large tunneller group. In dung dwellers, the spring biomass was formed mainly by two s
