Estimation of biomass of dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea) from the Russian Far East

Data on dry biomass and body length are given for 47 species of dung beetles from the southern part Russian Far East. The length-to-body weight relation in specimens dung-beetles was calculated, to enable be estimated information about length. Shown, selection optimal models length-weight relationship depends types trophodynamic relationships its size classes. When conducting ecological studies using such an indicator as biomass, it is necessary determine individual regional faunas, along beetles, use exclusively built also faunas.
