Year: 1986

Pages: 5-12.
Abstract: An analysis of the species-composition of the beetles inhabiting sheep droppings in three plant communities of dry pastures in Hungary is given. Forty-five coprophagous species were found. On the base of the characteristic aspects in the growth season are separable; the summer aspect of the coprophagous beetle community in sheep droppings is distinguished from that of the cattle droppings by their species-composition. A hypothesis concerning the temporal changes in the constant minimiarea of the coprophagous beetle communities is given.Journal: Folia entomologica hungaricaJournal abbreviation: Folia ent. hung.ISSN: 0373-9465Publisher: , Editor(s): Mahunka, S.
