Dung Beetles and Microbial Decomposition of Dung
Dung beetles belong to the superfamily Scarabaeoidea, and are mostly within the subfamilies of Scarabaeinae and Aphodiinae. They are given their name because they feed partially or exclusively on feces. Each species of dung beetles can be classified as one of several types: rollers, tunnelers and dwellers. Rollers roll the dung into round balls, which are then used for brooding chambers or as a...
متن کاملA molecular phylogenetic analysis of the Scarabaeinae (dung beetles).
The dung beetles (Scarabaeinae) include ca. 5000 species and exhibit a diverse array of morphologies and behaviors. This variation presumably reflects the adaptation to a diversity of food types and the different strategies used to avoid competition for vertebrate dung, which is the primary breeding environment for most species. The current classification gives great weight to the major behavio...
متن کاملTaxonomic assessment of Chirosiomima Hennig (Diptera: Anthomyiidae), with proposal of a new genus for Hylemyia curtigena Ringdahl.
The four nominal species currently included in the anthomyiid genus Chirosiomima Hennig, 1966 are critically assessed and redescribed. It is shown that the type species of Chirosiomima was originally misidentified. Chirosiomima obscurinervis (Emden, 1941) is resurrected from synonymy of C. gestroi (Séguy, 1930). Chirosiomima collini Ackland, 1968 is transferred to Botanophila Lioy (comb. nov.) ...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
Musca nevilli sp. nov. (Diptera, Muscidae), a dung-breeding fly from South Africa.
The adults, puparium and 3rd instar larva of a dung-breeding fly, Musca nevilli sp. nov. are described in the subgenus Eumusca. The adults are characterized by 4 dark postsutural mesonotal vittae, 1-2 bristles dorsally on the stem vein, the hairs on the ventral surface of r4 + 5 confined to the vein base, and the predominantly orange-yellow tergite I + II. The species is compared with other sou...
