Unexpectedly diverse forest dung beetle communities in degraded rain forest landscapes in Madagascar

2020-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Tropical forests, which harbor high levels of biodiversity, are being lost at an alarming speed. Madagascar, a biodiversity hotspot, has lost more than half of its original forest cover. Most of the remaining forests are small fragments of primary and secondary forest with differing degrees of human impact. These forests, as well as coffee and fruit plantations, may be important in supporting the forest‐dependent...
