3a), which lacks a native dung beetle fauna well-adapted to cattle dung42. So, in the novel Australian pasture ecosystems, dung removal relies on a small suite of recently introduced species43. A small group of species is also responsible for dung removal in the UK and Central and Eastern...
In fact, in relation to its size the dung beetle is not only the world’s strongest insect – it’s the world’s strongest animal! When moving balls of dung, a roller can pull a whopping 1,141 times its own bodyweight –that’s the same as a human dragging six full double-decker ...

We compared the activity personality trait between sexes in two dung beetle species: hornless Onthophagus ruficapillus and sexually horn dimorphic Onthophagus furcatus. We measured speed and distance moved in artificially constructed circular tracks to simulate physical activity in brood tunnels. Both ...

During our survey, while we were addressing the issue of human use of elephant products, fifteen mahouts and one woman whose father was a mahout, all fromThongmyxay, mentioned therapeutic uses of elephant dung beetle brood chambers (EBC). This scarab beetle has been identified asHeliocopris dom...
All beetles were given two 3-min runs in the arena, which consisted of two Petri dishes fixed together in such a way as to leave an annulus (a circular runway of diameter 20 mm) in which the beetle could move freely. We experimentally assessed the optimal annulus width (i.e., 20 mm...
Therefore, this study aimed to develop a blueberry shelf-life prediction method based on a back propagation neural network (BPNN) optimized by the dung beetle optimizer using an elite pool strategy and a Gaussian distribution estimation strategy (GDEDBO); (2) Methods: The “Liberty” blueberry ...
