Relative importance of pasture size and grazing continuity for the long-term conservation of European dung beetles
Original language description
Habitat area and continuity are both key issues in conservation biology, for example in the choice and design of areas used as nature reserves. We analyzed how grazing continuity and pasture area affect species richness, functional groups and red-listedspecies of dung beetles, functionally important but often highly threatened organisms found in pasture areas. We used literature and our own field data to study a chronosequence of 22 pastures ranging from recently established sites up to 1000 years of grazing history in five European countries. Our results show a strong positive effect of grazing continuity on total species richness, especially within the first hundred years of permanent grazing. Species richness showed a stronger increase with grazingcontinuity in habitat specialists than in habitat generalists. However, the number of red-listed dung beetle species increased strongly with the size of a pasture, leading to higher proportions of red-listed species on large than on smal
