Response of dung beetle assemblages to grazing intensity in two distinct bioclimatic contexts (vol 289, 106740, 2020)
AGRICULTURE ECOSYSTEMS & ENVIRONMENT(2020)
Abstract
•Response of dung beetles to grazing in a Mediterranean steppe and the Alps.•Grazing intensity affects the structure and composition of dung beetle assemblages.•Faunal contrasts were more pronounced in the Alps than in the steppe.•Overgrazing was detrimental to soil-digging species but favoured dung-dwellers.•Dung beetle nesting guilds can be used as indicators of grazing intensity effects.
