A Chromosomal Analysis of 15 Species of Gymnopleurini, Scarabaeini and Coprini (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)
A chromosomal analysis of 15 species of Gymnopleurini, Scarabaeini and Coprini (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) R. B. Angus, C. J. Wilson & D. J. Mann The karyotypes of one species of Gymnopleurini, two Scarabaeini, five Onitini and seven Coprini are described and illustrated. Gymnopleurus geoffroyi, Scarabaeus cristatus, S. laticollis, Bubas bison, B. bubalus, B. bubaloides, Onitis belial, O. ion, Copris lunaris, Microcopris doriae, M. hidakai and Helopcopris gigas all have karyotypes with 2n=18 + Xy. Copris hispanus and Paracopris ����������ramosiceps have karyotypes with 2n=16 + Xy and Copris sinicus has a karyotype comprising 2n=12 + Xy. Heterochromatic B-chromosomes have been found in Bubas bubalus. Spanish material of Bubas bison lacks the distal heterochromatic blocks found in most of the chromosomes of Italian specimens. The karyotype of Heliocopris gigas is unusual in that the autosomes and X chromosome are largely heterochromatic. R. B. Angus* & C. J.

(Coleoptera: Carabidae) from Madeira Island
New data on the spatial distribution of endemic ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) from Madeira Island MÁRIO BOIEIRO, MAB STUDY GROUP* & ARTUR R.M. SERRANO Boieiro, M., MAB Study Group & A.R.M. Serrano (in press). New data on the spatial distribution of endemic ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) from Madeira Island. Arquipelago. Life and Marine Sciences 29: 15-23. Based on standardised sampling methods covering a large fraction of native forest on Ma- deira Island, new distribution data is reported for 33 species of endemic ground beetles. Most of these species have been found in new localities and their distribution range is now better known. Dromius angustus alutaceus Wollaston, 1857 was "rediscovered" after more than fifty years since the last known record and two rare Philorhizus species (P. conicipen- nis (Fauvel, 1905) and P. vieirai Mateu, 1957) were also located. Furthermore, two other arboreal endemics (Olisthopus ericae Wollaston, 1854 and O. maderensis Wollaston, 1854) were recorded from many new localities. This work represents a considerable improvement of the knowledge on the distribution of ground beetle species endemic to Madeira, hence contributing to future management plans targeting the conservation of endemic biota.

B.ERM.0213 Final Report - Importation of 2 winter-spring active dung beetles for southern Australia Abstract Tunnelling and burial of dung by dung beetles improves water penetration, soil aeration, and movement of nutrients to the root zone, resulting in improved soil health and pasture growth. The lack of dung beetles in late winter and early spring represents an annual loss of 17-25% of that benefit in the main cattle grazing areas of temperate Australia. -

CIBIO, Universidad de Alicante, Alicante, Spain 3 School of Biodiversity, Asti University Centre for Advanced Studies, Asti, Italy Corresponding Author: José R. Verdú Email address: [email protected] Grazing extensification and intensification are among the main problems affecting European grasslands. We analyze the impact of grazing intensity (low and moderate) and the use of veterinary medical products (VMPs) on the dung beetle community in the province of Pesaro-Urbino (Italy). Grazing intensity is a key factor in explaining the diversity of dung beetles. In the case of the alpha diversity component, sites with a low level of grazing activity – related in a previous step to the subsequent abandonment of traditional farming – is characterized by a loss of species richness (q = 0) and a reduction in alpha diversity at the levels q = 1 and q = 2. -
