The importance of dung beetles and arthropod communities on degradation of cattle dung pats in eastern South Dakota
BACKGROUND: Dung accumulation in rangelands can suppress plant growth, foul pastures, and increase pest pressure. Here, we describe the arthropod community of dung in eastern South Dakota, and quantify their contributions to dung degradation using an exclusion cage design. METHODS: Various arthropod...
