Holter, Peter; Scholtz, Clarke H. (Wiley, 2013-06)Most adult dung beetles (Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) feed on fresh, wet dung of larger herbivorous or omnivorous mammals. As refractory plant fragments are selected out before ingestion, the food is presumed easily digestible. ...

Burke, Alan F.; Sole, Catherine L.; Scholtz, Clarke H. (Cambridge University Press, 2019-10)We describe four new species in the genus Cymatodera Gray (Coleoptera: Cleridae: Tillinae): Cymatodera acuminata and Cymatodera unica from Mexico, Cymatodera parva from El Salvador and Honduras, and Cymatodera magdalena ...

Sota, Teiji; Takami, Yasuoki; Ikeda, Hiroshi; Liang, Hongbin; Karagyan, Gayane; Scholtz, Clarke H.; Hori, Michio (Elsevier, 2022-02)The origin and diversification process of lineages of organisms that are currently widely distributed among continents is an interesting subject for exploring the evolutionary history of global species diversity. Ground ...

Scholtz, Clarke H.; Bazelet, Corinna S.; De Klerk, Hennie (Pensoft Publishers, 2018-12-10)Although Gryllacrididae are a largely southern hemisphere insect family, they are relatively poorly represented in southern Africa, with three genera (Ametroides Karny, 1928, Glomeremus Karny, 1937, and Stictogryllacris Karny, ...

Franzini, Philippa Z.N.; Ramond, Jean-Baptiste; Scholtz, Clarke H.; Sole, Catherine L.; Ronca, Sandra; Cowan, Don A. (Public Library of Science, 2016-08-17)Micro-organisms inhabiting animal guts benefit from a protected and nutrient-rich environment while assisting the host with digestion and nutrition. In this study we compare, for the first time, the bacterial and fungal ...
-
Scholtz, Clarke H. (Entomological Society of Southern Africa, 2016-09)A number of changes have taken place in the higher classification of southern African insects since the last time it was documented in full (Scholtz & Holm 1985) and there is currently no comprehensive modern classification ...
-
Daniel, Gimo M.; Sole, Catherine L.; Scholtz, Clarke H.; Davis, Adrian L.V. (Oxford University Press, 2021-07)The role of the geological uplift and climatic changes during the late Cenozoic on the species diversification of southern African dung beetles is not fully understood. Therefore, we use a divergence-time-estimated phylogeny, ...
-
Jacobs, Carmen Tina; Scholtz, Clarke H.; Escobar, Federico; Davis, Adrian L.V. (Springer, 2010-02)There are concerns over the increasing encroachment of humans, domestic livestock, and farming onto Maputo Special Reserve because of the potential for habitat modification. Therefore, differences between an undisturbed ...
-
Forbes, Andrew B.; Scholtz, Clarke H. (Elsevier, 2024-10)Dung beetles provide a variety of ecosystem services in both natural and farmed landscapes. Amongst these services, reductions in the abundance of the free-living stages of pests and parasites that develop in faeces is ...

Davis, Adrian L.V.; Van Aarde, Rudi J.; Scholtz, Clarke H.; Guldemond, Robert Abraham Rene; Fourie, Jo; Deschodt, Christian M. (Springer, 2013-03)We questioned the capability of post-mining rehabilitation and successional changes in coastal vegetation to achieve restoration of dune forest, dung beetle assemblages in the Maputaland Centre of Endemism, South Africa. ...

Scholtz, Clarke H.; MacRae, T.C. (Entomological Society of Southern Africa, 2016-03)Recently, large numbers of Melanophila unicolor Gory, 1841 were attracted to furnaces and cooling copper at a smelter at Tsumeb, Namibia, where the beetles are colloquiallyknownas ‘furnace-beetles’. The smelter is ...

(Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung, 2015-08-20)Dung beetles of the subfamily Scarabaeinae have a worldwide distribution, with the Afrotropical region, the putative origin of the diversification of Scarabaeinae, having the richest diversity. We use partial sequences ...

Davis, Adrian L.V.; Scholtz, Clarke H.; Deschodt, Christian M. (Blackwell, 2008)AIM: Changing conditions across spatial gradients are primary determinants of biotic regions, local habitats, and distributional edges. We investigate how a climatic gradient and edaphic mosaic interact as multi-scale ...
