Abstract

The droppings of cattle are utilised extensively by dung beetles native to the southern highlands of Australia, and in spring and autumn these insects (particularly Onthophagus granulatus Boheman) bury or disturb a significant proportion of the dung. The amount of dung utilised proved not be a simple function of the numbers of beetles found in the pads. Copyright © 1975, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
