Biogeographical affinities and species richness of copronecrophagous beetles in the southeastern Mexican High Plateau

In this study we establish the biogeographical affinities of the Scarabaeoidea dung beetle fauna in the dry southeast of the Mexican Plateau and analyze species diversity and how it changes with site, soil and vegetation type. Beetles were systematically captured in six windows in the region between...
