Abstract

Background: Dung beetles play key roles in terrestrial ecosystems, contributing to many important ecosystem process and functions, such as nutrient recycling, parasite control and seed dispersal. Due to their tight associations with mammals and their responses to environmental change, they are also frequently used as environmental and biological indicators. Despite their importance, knowledge about dung beetles in Southeast Asia is limited. To address this information gap, we established a databasing project - "Mobilising data on ecologically important insects in Malaysia and Singapore" - funded by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). As part of this project, we compiled two extensive datasets - a sampling-event and occurrence dataset and a taxonomic checklist - for the dung beetles of Sabah, Bornean Malaysia. The sampling-event dataset documents 2,627 unique sampling events and 21,348 dung beetle occurrence records for Sabah. The taxonomic checklist includes 156 confirmed dung beetle species and 36 synonyms, totalling 192 records. These datasets have been made open access through the GBIF portal, which we hope will enhance the understanding of dung beetle taxonomy and their distributions in Southeast Asia.

New information: All data presented in this paper comprises of available information pertaining to the dung beetles of Sabah.

马来西亚沙巴州蜣螂（鞘翅目，猩甲科，猩甲虫属）记录的全面综合。

背景：蜣螂在陆地生态系统中发挥着关键作用，为许多重要的生态系统过程和功能做出了贡献，如养分循环、寄生虫控制和种子传播。由于粪蜣螂与哺乳动物密切相关，并对环境变化做出反应，因此也经常被用作环境和生物指标。尽管蜣螂很重要，但人们对东南亚蜣螂的了解却很有限。为了填补这一信息空白，我们在全球生物多样性信息基金（GBIF）的资助下建立了一个数据库项目--"马来西亚和新加坡重要生态昆虫数据动员"。作为该项目的一部分，我们为马来西亚婆罗洲沙巴州的蜣螂编制了两个广泛的数据集--取样事件和出现数据集以及分类清单。采样-事件数据集记录了沙巴的2627个独特采样事件和21348条蜣螂出现记录。分类清单包括 156 个已确认的蜣螂物种和 36 个异名，共计 192 条记录。这些数据集已通过 GBIF 门户网站开放访问，我们希望这将增进对东南亚蜣螂分类学及其分布的了解：本文所提供的所有数据都是有关沙巴蜣螂的现有信息。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
