On the road of dung: hypothetical dispersal routes of dung beetles in the circum–Sicilian volcanic islands

We analysed dung beetle communities on ten volcanic islands located around Sicily (Italy) to identify the most probable dispersal routes in the colonization of these islands. Assuming two scenarios, we analysed the dung beetle communities through the coefficient of dispersal direction DD2. Our resul...
