In many ecosystems dung beetles play a crucial role--both ecologically and economically--in the decomposition of large herbivore dung. Their activities provide scientists with an excellent opportunity to explore biological community dynamics. This collection of essays offers a concise account of the population and community ecology of dung beetles worldwide, with an emphasis on comparisons between arctic, temperate, and tropical species assemblages. Useful insights arise from relating the vast differences in species' life histories to their population and community-level consequences. The authors also discuss changes in dung beetle faunas due to human-caused habitat alteration and examine the possible effects of introducing dung beetles to cattle-breeding areas that lack efficient native species. "With the expansion of cattle breeding areas, the ecology of dung beetles is a subject of great economic concern as well as one of intense theoretical interest. This excellent book represents an up-to-date ecological study covering important aspects of the dung beetle never before presented."--Gonzalo Halffter, Instituto de Ecologia, Mexico City

"Jadis discipline scientifique, l'écologie est devenue une idéologie régressive qui manipule les émotions du public en déformant, ou inventant de toute pièce, certains des effets de le civilisation contemporaine sur l'environnement. Le déferlement écolomaniaque culmine dans le culte infantile d'une "Terre-Déesse-Mère" qui ne pourrait pleinement exister que débarrassée de toute vie humaine. Devenue une machine totalitaire au service d'un fanatisme aveugle, l'écologie est désormais une Peste verte qui menace tous les êtres humains."--Back cover.
