Abstract

Abstract Dung beetles of the Scarabaeinae subfamily are an essential component of the diversity of organisms that degrade organic matter in the soil. Therefore, their diversity provides critical ecological services to different ecosystems, including agroecosystems. This study describes the fauna of dung beetles (Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) that inhabit cattle ranches in two municipalities of Tabasco, Mexico. From November 2018 to October 2019, 1,400 specimens of this subfamily were collected using pitfall traps baited with cattle feces on ranches located in Tacotalpa and Centro. The most abundant species were the introduced beetles Digitonthophagus gazella (Fabricius) and Euoniticellus intermedius (Reiche). This study shows a scarce presence of roller species and notable differences in the structures of dung beetle assemblages between ranches. Additionally, this study provides a record of nine undocumented species for Tabasco, bringing the total to 27 Scarabaeinae species for the state. This study is the first formal survey to document the diversity of these insects in Tabasco, Mexico.

墨西哥塔巴斯科牧场Scarabainae Dung Beetles的多样性（鞘翅目：Scarabaidae）

摘要Scarabainae亚科的Dung甲虫是降解土壤中有机物的生物多样性的重要组成部分。因此，它们的多样性为包括农业生态系统在内的不同生态系统提供了重要的生态服务。这项研究描述了居住在墨西哥塔巴斯科两个市镇牧场的牛粪甲虫动物群（Scarabaidae：Scarabainae）。从2018年11月到2019年10月，在塔科塔帕和森特罗的牧场上，使用以牛粪便为诱饵的陷阱收集了1400个该亚科的标本。最丰富的物种是引入的甲虫Digitonthophagus gazella（Fabricius）和Euoniticellus intermediatus（Reiche）。这项研究表明，滚轴物种很少，牧场之间的粪甲虫群落结构存在显著差异。此外，这项研究提供了塔巴斯科9种未记录物种的记录，使该州的斯卡拉贝科物种总数达到27种。这项研究是墨西哥塔巴斯科首次记录这些昆虫多样性的正式调查。
