Dung removal increases under higher dung beetle functional diversity regardless of grazing intensification

Dung removal increases under higher dung beetle functional diversity regardless of grazing intensification

Abstract Dung removal by macrofauna such as dung beetles is an important process for nutrient cycling in pasturelands. Intensification of farming practices generally reduces species and functional diversity of terrestrial invertebrates, which may negatively affect ecosystem services. Here, we invest...
