National Scientific Programmes Unit: CSIR, SANSP Report 59, Sep 1982, pp 390-7988-2560-Xhttp://hdl.handle.net/10204/2329A study of the composition, biology and impact of the arthropod fauna associated with dung and other decaying matter was carried out on the Nylsvley Nature Reserve and on a neighbouring farm from June 1975 to July 1976. A total of 100 638 specimens of dung- and carrion beetles was collected. In the families Scarabaeidae, Trogidae and Dermestidae 78 species have so far been identified, all but five of which have been named. The presence of further, as yet unidentified, species among this material is likely to increase the list of known species substantially. The geographic distribution, habitat and food preferences, and seasonal activity of the 78 identified species are given.enSANSPEcosystemsSavannasDung BeetlesArthropod faunaNylsvleyReportEndrody-Younga, S.
