Interplay of succession and seasonality reflects resource utilization in an ephemeral habitat
Original language description
Ephemeral habitats such as dung pats provide an abundance of resource for their inhabitants. The species coexistence is probably facilitated primarily by separation in time. Here we present a first complex study of such temporal segregation, along successional and seasonal gradients, focused on a complete community of coprophilous beetles from Central Europe with both coprophagous and predatory species were studied. We captured 39, 627 beetles belonging to 85 species using artificially created dung pats. The whole course of succession took fewer days when compared to studies from Northern Europe (9 versus 14 days). The later in the succession, the more time the larvae live freely in the dung pat. The same phenomenon applies for the seasonal separation.The predatory species are separated both seasonally and successionally by their size with smaller predators in latter phases in both temporal aspects.
