Resource shifts in Malagasy dung beetles: contrasting processes revealed by dissimilar spatial genetic patterns.

Ecology letters - 1 Nov 2008

Hanski Ilkka, Wirta Helena, Nyman Toshka, Rahagalala Pierre

Abstract excerpt

The endemic dung beetle subtribe Helictopleurina has 65 species mostly in wet forests in eastern Madagascar. There are no extant native ungulates in Madagascar, but three Helictopleurus species have shifted to the introduced cattle dung in open habitats in the past 1500 years. Helictopleurus neoamplicollis and Helictopleurus marsyas exhibit very limited cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 haplotype diversity and a...
