This study investigates the effects of microplastic contamination on dung beetle reproduction and larval survival, finding high mortality and lack of behavioral distinction between contaminated and control dung.

This study examines how dung beetle larvae modify their environment and how these modifications affect their growth and development, finding mixed effects depending on the source of environmental modification.

This study investigates how dung beetle larvae modify their environment and assesses the impact on adult life-history traits, finding no benefit from conspecific modifications but faster development in heterospecific treatments.
