We have used baited pitfall ttaps to collect dung beetles a d get to kniw their diversity

Experiments for measuring dung and soil removal and seed dispersal. These are some of the ecosystem services provided by dung beetles. We weighted how much dung is left and how much soil was moved. We also counted dispersed seeds. These results will be compared with data collected 13 years ago.

Preparing all the gear, while waiting for the heavy rains to stop in Serra do Cipó (Brazil). We will be measuring ecosystem services and collecting dung beetle diversity @guidasantos.bsky.social
