Body Size and Biomass Distributions of Carrion Visiting Beetles: Do Cities Host Smaller Species?
Ecol Res (2008) 23: 241–248 DOI 10.1007/s11284-007-0369-9 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Werner Ulrich Æ Karol Komosin´ski Æ Marcin Zalewski Body size and biomass distributions of carrion visiting beetles: do cities host smaller species? Received: 15 November 2006 / Accepted: 14 February 2007 / Published online: 28 March 2007 Ó The Ecological Society of Japan 2007 Abstract The question how animal body size changes Introduction along urban–rural gradients has received much attention from carabidologists, who noticed that cities harbour Animal and plant body size is correlated with many smaller species than natural sites. For Carabidae this aspects of life history traits and species interactions pattern is frequently connected with increasing distur- (dispersal, reproduction, energy intake, competition; bance regimes towards cities, which favour smaller Brown et al. 2004; Brose et al. 2006). Therefore, species winged species of higher dispersal ability. However, body size distributions (here understood as the fre- whether changes in body size distributions can be gen- quency distribution of log body size classes, SSDs) are eralised and whether common patterns exist are largely often used to infer patterns of species assembly and unknown. Here we report on body size distributions of energy use (Peters 1983; Calder 1984; Holling 1992; carcass-visiting beetles along an urban–rural gradient in Gotelli and Graves 1996; Etienne and Olff 2004; Ulrich northern Poland. Based on samplings of 58 necrophages 2005a, 2006). and 43 predatory beetle species, mainly of the families Many of the studies on local SSDs focused on the Catopidae, Silphidae, and Staphylinidae, we found number of modes and the shape. -

Part I: On the species described in the genus Canthon Hoffmannsegg, 1817 by the German entomologist Adolf Schmidt (1856-1923) (Coleoptera, Scara- baeidae, Scarabaeinae). Spixiana 41 (1): 33-76. The present work represents the first part of a series of papers studying the type material of the New World Scarabaeinae deposited in all major museums of the world. The main goals of this series are to locate the whereabouts of those types, designate, when appropriate, lectotypes and neotypes, and illustrate those speci- mens and their labels so that it will be possible for anyone interested to identify species already described and recognize new ones. As a start to this series, we present information on and illustrate the type material of the nominal species- group taxa proposed by the German entomologist Adolf Schmidt in the genus Canthon Hoffmannsegg, 1817, in two papers published in 1920 and 1922. Deposited in five European museums (Berlin, Dresden, Müncheberg, Brussels, and Stock- holm), we were able to find the type specimens of all but one of the 51 names firstly established as new species or new varieties by Schmidt. Of these 50 names, we designate lectotypes for 38. Schmidt also proposed three nominal species in Canthon as replacement names – C. -

ABSTRACT In Colombia the dung beetles of the subfamily Scarabaeinae are represented by approximately 34 genera and 380 species. Although this group of insects is the subject of numerous ecological studies in Colombia, there is no appropriate literatu- re for the identification of the included taxa. An illustrated key for the identification of the genera of dung beetles known from Colombia is presented. Key words: Colombia, Dung Beetles, Identification, IlIustrated Key, Scarabeinae.

Although dung beetles are important members of ecological communities and indicators of ecosystem quality, species diversity, and how it varies over space and habitat types, remains poorly understood in the Brazilian Cerrado. We compared dung beetle communities among plant formations in the Serra Azul State Park (SASP) in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. Sampling (by baited pitfall and flight-interception traps) was carried out in 2012 in the Park in four habitat types: two different savanna formations (typical and open) and two forest formations (seasonally deciduous and gallery). -
