Linking dung beetle‐mediated functions to interactions in the Atlantic Forest: Sampling design matters

Interactions between dung beetles and vertebrate dung are intimately linked to a suite of ecosystem functions in tropical forests. We show that the trapping method and the type of dung used affect the suite of beetles captured, with the potential to influence the outcome of experiments linking funct...
