Items related to Introduced Dung Beetles in Australia: A Pocket Field...
This field guide to introduced dung beetles in Australia covers all species found in Australia, including two newly introduced species. It will enable farmers, entomologists and the interested public to identify and learn about the basic biology of these beetles found in cattle dung.
Covering 25 species, including recently introduced species, each entry includes: scientific name, identifying features, distribution, additional information and is accompanied by at least one photograph and a distribution map. Dung beetles help farmers deal with the large quantities of manure that cattle herds produce each day. The establishment of colonies of introduced dung beetles has had multiple benefits for farmers: the activities of dung beetles help maintain clean, useable pastures, improve soil health and nutrient cycling, and dramatically reduce the breeding activities of pest flies breeding.
