Dung beetle‐megafauna trophic networks in Singapore’s fragmented forests

Dung beetle‐megafauna trophic networks in Singapore’s fragmented forests

We investigated trophic networks between dung beetles and megafauna species in five forest fragments in Singapore varying in size and isolation. We found that Singapore's dung beetle communities were attracted to extant and extinct dung types from different dietary groups. All forest fragment n...
