Different responses of dung beetle diversity and feeding guilds from natural and disturbed habitats across a subtropical elevational gradient

Understanding the effects of natural and anthropogenic processes that drives biodiversity is urgently needed to improve conservation strategies at the landscape scale. Although natural drivers on altitudinal gradients have been well studied, the concatenated effect of habitat disturbance across different altitudes over biodiversity is still poorly known. We aimed to test the effect of habitat transformation on assemblage metrics of dung beetles...
