La thèse invite à donner tout de soi même, découvrir son potentiel et à explorer, ce qu’enfoui en nous, est une certitude. Menée avec passion, cette thèse peut s’avérer un des moments le plus importants de construction professionnelle, mais surtout personnelle. Car l’aventure c’est de l’inattendu, des rencontres, des problèmes complexes, des frustrations et des (petites ou grandes) victoires. Heureusement, bien qu’il semble ainsi, le thésard n’est pas seul (et heureusement). J’ai eu la chance d’être particulièrement entourée, avant la thèse, pendant et après. A tous ceux qui, en ayant été ou en étant dans ma vie, m’ont conduit à être qui je suis aujourd’hui, merci. Et bien que difficile à faire, voici la liste de personnes à qui je suis particulièrement reconnaissante : Pierre Jay-Robert , qui m’a proposé un projet des plus inattendus : s’attaquer à la conservation des bousiers. Ça aurait été mille fois plus sexy de travailler sur un modèle poilu ou plumeux, de préférence bleu ; d’ailleurs ça m’aurait économisé quelques blagues ! Cependant tu m’as proposé ce que, au fond de moi, j’avais vraiment envie de faire : m’ occuper des « moches ». Et si c’était à refaire, ça serait avec plaisir. Merci de ta générosité, ton écoute et de ta confiance. L’équipe ESA… que dire, vous m’avez soutenu, inspiré, aidé, formé, accompagné, fait rigoler, rêver et surtout, vous me n’avez pas laissé baisser les bras. Avec votre enthousiasme et bienveillance je peux dire que j’ai passé trois ans dans la meilleure ambiance professionnelle qu’un doctorant peut espérer. Agnès Mechin, Alan Vergnes, Aurore Léocadie, Céline Jacob, Gérard Duvallet, Jérôme Cortet, Jonathan Bonfanti, Juliette Langlois, Martine Feugray, Pierre-Yves Hardy, Séverine Durand, Sylvain Pioch, William FD Perrin… vous saveeez, sans vous, les pauses et les smoothies je n’aurais jamais publiéééé (et fini) ! Puis, je dois citer ces jeunes qui ont apporté un coup de main significatif à mes travaux et qui m’ont appris beaucoup de choses : merci Sophia Savagner et Matthias Brand de votre investissement, créativité et enthousiame. Merci aux membres du jury d’avoir accepté d’évaluer ces travaux. J’admire votre investissement (souvent très personnel) pour la conservation de la biodiversité et votre ouverture disciplinaire. J’espère que vous trouverez des éléments intéressants dans ce manuscrit. Je remercie tous les chercheurs, techniciens et acteurs du monde de la conservation qui ont apporté un conseil significatif, une aide ponctuelle ou une attention particulière à mes travaux et à mes idées. Parmi eux Isabelle Chuine, Aurélien Besnard, Claude Miaud, Cyril Bernard, Julien Touroult, David Degueldre, Olivier Gimenez, les membres de ScarB’Obs 5 (Adrien Simon, Céline Quélénnec, Joseph Garrigue, Baptiste Hubert, Julien Dabry, Stéphane Jaulin, Laurent Tatin, Fabien Lepine), Claudie Houssard, Sonia Bertrand, Xavier Houard, Bruno Mériguet, Valérie Chansigaud, Dennis Brouillet, Louise Chawla. Special greetings to you Ian Renner: you made SDM’s (and working with you) be fun ny, exciting and gamboge. I’ll never thank you enought ! Puis, j’aimerai citer des chercheurs qui m’ont inspiré en tant que scientifique et personne investie dans la conservation des « creepy crawlers » : MJ Samways, SR Kellert et EO Wilson. Je tiens à citer des personnes qui ont travaillé avec moi pour réussir des paris fous, dont la détection de l’ADNe dans des compresses… me rci Tony Dejean et ses associés de SPYGEN. Egalement merci à Juliette Fabre, Olivier Lobry et Alexia Vaillé de l’OSU -OREME et Marie- Claude Quidoz du CEFE : l’observatoire ScaraB’Obs serait encore une idée sans votre appui technique. Je souhaiterai citer des structures qui m’ont permis de me former en tant que future chercheuse ancrée dans des problématiques actuelles : le CEFE, l’OSU -OREME et l’Association Femme & Sciences. Dans cette dernière, mention spéciale pour Catherine Panabières, dont le partage d e ses expériences m’a grandement enrichie et aidée et à May Morris pour sa bienveillance et tout ce qu’elle fait pour F&S. Enfin, une pensée pour les précaires de la recherche. Jérémy Tornos, Louise Boulangeat, Marine El Adouzi, Mathilde Frémont, Jules Chiffard, Julie Louvrier, Marie Chandelier, Matthias Grenié, Iris Le Roncé, Juan Sebastian Vargas, Nathalia Sandoval et Daniel Arauz : passionnés de vos sujets et de vos propres aventures, je vous souhaite que du bonheur dans vos quêtes scientifiques ! *** Une thèse est sans aucun doute une occupation à temps complet, 7j/7, 24/24 365 jours de l’année ; c’est une attitude de curiosité dévorante et dans mon cas, une passion. Je dois donc remercier toutes les personnes ayant vécu (subi ?) cette aventure avec moi en dehors des « heures de bureau » : Vengo de lejos pero sin duda alguna, ustedes hacen parte de mi vida, y por ende, de las personas que hicieron que una chiquilla se fuera para mejor regresar.

Merci d’avoir toujours été là pour cette jeune expatriée. Vous êtes les meilleurs tontons et tata que je pourrais avoir. Merci. Bastien, tu as été mon coach, mon acolyte de pessimisme et de folies, mon cuisinier, mes vacances, mon amoureux, mon relecteur, mon sherpa émotionnel et une source d’admiration. Merci d’avoir enduré ces trois ans avec la névrosée-passionnée que je suis et de continuer à la suivre dans son cheminement aventureux. Et je n’oublie pas Isis, le plus beau et réconfortant chat de la planète ! Y para terminar, los verdecillos del Carmen. ¿Quién iba a saber que me iba a volver tan creativa y decidida, como Papi? ¿Tan llena de la empatía y la sensibilidad de mi Mamá? ¿Que iba a ser tan terca y obstinada que Mamita? ¿Que sería tan explosiva y dulce como Papá? ¿Igual de valiente que Pedro?

Although they use a range of dung types, there have been several reports of dung beetles showing a preference for certain feces. However, exactly what determines dung preference in dung beetles remains controversial. In the present study, we investigated differences in dung beetle communities attracted to horse or cow dung from a functional diversity standpoint.

    Journal of Insect Conservation (2021) 25:629–642 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10841-021-00329-4 ORIGINAL PAPER A novel trap design for non‑lethal monitoring of dung beetles using eDNA metabarcoding Leandro Camila1 · Dejean Tony2 · Valentini Alice2 · Jean Pauline2 · Jay‑Robert Pierre1 Received: 2 March 2020 / Accepted: 4 June 2021 / Published online: 21 June 2021 © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021 Abstract The current biodiversity crisis calls for rapid and wide-ranging surveys to assess living organisms. However, some taxa are more elusive than others, making monitoring challenging. This is the case for soil invertebrates, but new molecular technologies such as eDNA metabarcoding could help to alleviate this problem. In this study, we evaluated the feasibil- ity of using an eDNA approach to survey dung beetles, adapting existing monitoring methods for surveying dung fauna to enable eDNA collection in a non-destructive way. The main design idea is to capture species secretions and excretions from a serum-soaked nonwoven compress in a baited non-destructive trap. While the attractiveness of the device to dung beetles and the sampling protocol would beneft from further development, eDNA allowed the identifcation of more than 68% of trapped species and an identifcation of relative abundance match rate of 79%. The results of the study demonstrate the efectiveness of eDNA-based detection tools for the monitoring of dung beetles compared to standard surveying and identifcation techniques. Moreover, the adapted collecting device developed for the study could be used for similar surveys of other terrestrial invertebrates or even re-adapted.

  • ABSTRACT FOWLER, FALLON ELISE. How Dung
    ABSTRACT FOWLER, FALLON ELISE. How Dung Beetles affect Dung-Generated Greenhouse Gases in Cattle Pastures: Experimental Studies and Literature Review. (Under the direction of Dr. David W. Watson). Humans are accelerating climate change through the overuse, replacement, and destruction of native ecosystems – the very entities that regulate the world’s greenhouse gases (GHGs). With such a burgeoning population it becomes more imperative to find ways that promote healthy habitats through biodiversity and sustainability. While this research is no substitute for more impactful strategies, such as resource conservation (i.e. flexitarian diets, fossil fuel reduction), ecosystem restoration (e.g. afforestation, desertification renovation), and green practices (e.g. solar energy, food waste reduction, elimination of single-use plastics); my goal is to address some of climate science’s concerns with animal agriculture. This research demonstrates how effective and robust dung beetle populations can influence the dung and soil microbes that regulate GHG pathways in cattle-based pastures. Chapter 1 discusses the various dung beetle collection methodologies and their purposes to better understand their guild-level advantages, limitations, and survival rates when using mass-scale flotation and self-sorting techniques for dung beetles. Chapter 2 discusses the various GHG chamber designs and extraction methods, and proposes a unique chamber design and methodology (the “mobile” GHG chamber) accompanied by step-by-step building instructions, required items and costs, advantage-disadvantage lists, and how-to guides on standard curve creation, vial blanking (purging), and standard operating procedure. Both Chapters 1 and 2 represent the underlying methodology and internal validation experiments that form the basis of Chapters 3, 4, and 5.

  • Phylogenetic Analysis of Geotrupidae (Coleoptera, Scarabaeoidea) Based on Larvae
    Systematic Entomology (2004) 29, 509–523 Phylogenetic analysis of Geotrupidae (Coleoptera, Scarabaeoidea) based on larvae JOSE´ R. VERDU´ 1 , EDUARDO GALANTE1 , JEAN-PIERRE LUMARET2 andFRANCISCO J. CABRERO-SAN˜ UDO3 1Centro Iberoamericano de la Biodiversidad (CIBIO), Universidad de Alicante, Spain; 2CEFE, UMR 5175, De´ partement Ecologie des Arthropodes, Universite´ Paul Vale´ ry, Montpellier, France; and 3Departamento Biodiversidad y Biologı´ a Evolutiva, Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (CSIC), Madrid, Spain Abstract. Thirty-eight characters derived from the larvae of Geotrupidae (Scarabaeoidea, Coleoptera) were analysed using parsimony and Bayesian infer- ence. Trees were rooted with two Trogidae species and one species of Pleocomidae as outgroups. The monophyly of Geotrupidae (including Bolboceratinae) is supported by four autapomorphies: abdominal segments 3–7 with two dorsal annulets, chaetoparia and acanthoparia of the epipharynx not prominent, glossa and hypopharynx fused and without sclerome, trochanter and femur without fossorial setae. Bolboceratinae showed notable differences with Pleocomidae, being more related to Geotrupinae than to other groups. Odonteus species (Bolboceratinae s.str.) appear to constitute the closest sister group to Geotrupi- nae. Polyphyly of Bolboceratinae is implied by the following apomorphic char- acters observed in the ‘Odonteus lineage’: anterior and posterior epitormae of epipharynx developed, tormae of epipharynx fused, oncyli of hypopharynx devel- oped, tarsal claws reduced or absent, plectrum and pars stridens of legs well developed and apex of antennal segment 2 with a unique sensorium. A ‘Bolbelas- mus lineage’ is supported by the autapomorphic presence of various sensoria on the apex of the antennal segment, and the subtriangular labrum (except Eucanthus). This group constituted by Bolbelasmus, Bolbocerosoma and Eucanthus is the first evidence for a close relationship among genera, but more characters should be analysed to test the support for the clade.

  • The Role of Semi–Natural Grasslands and Livestock in Sustaining Dung Beetle Communities (Coleoptera, Scarabaeoidea) in Sub–Mediterranean Areas of Slovenia
    Animal Biodiversity and Conservation 41.2 (2018) 321 The role of semi–natural grasslands and livestock in sustaining dung beetle communities (Coleoptera, Scarabaeoidea) in sub–Mediterranean areas of Slovenia J. Jugovic, N. Koprivnikar, T. Koren Jugovic, J., Koprivnikar, N., Koren, T., 2018. The role of semi–natural grasslands and livestock in sustaining dung beetle communities (Coleoptera, Scarabaeoidea) in sub–Mediterranean areas of Slovenia. Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 41.2: 321–332, Doi: https://doi.org/10.32800/abc.2018.41.0321 Abstract The role of semi–natural grasslands and livestock in sustaining dung beetle communities (Coleoptera, Scara- baeoidea) in sub–Mediterranean areas of Slovenia. We studied the richness and structure of the coprophagous Scarabaeoidea community in two pastures (Hrastovlje and Zazid) in sub–Mediterranean Slovenia. In each pasture, we examined three habitat patches characterised by different levels of grazing (S1, the active part of the pasture; S2, the overgrown part of the pasture, mainly spiny shrubs; S3, a meadow with some overgrown patches of shrubs outside the fenced pasture). The main results were as follows: (1) 29 species were sampled, corresponding to about three quarters of the species presumably present at the two study sites; (2) species richness and abundance in Zazid are were similar in all three patches; (3) the species richness and abundance in Hrastovlje (in total, and separately for dwellers and tunnelers) were highest in S2. In Hrastovlje, dwellers were most abundant in S1. As the two different habitat patches were shown to positively influence the dung beetle community, we recommend maintaining a traditionally–managed mosaic landscape.
