🇬🇧 Nature provides many benefits to mankind through the ecosystem functions (EFs) species perform. Dung beetles depend on excrements to feed and reproduce, and by burying it, contribute to dung removal, seed dispersal, availability of soil nutrients, etc. ⬇️ 1/5
Beer + Science, a perfect combination! We will be giving a talk about dunng beetles and global change?! Ven a Cercedilla a tomar una cerveza mientras aprendes sobre cambio global y escarabajos coprófagos @dungpool_proj
📢 The first paper of our project as just been published. Here we present the list and geographical records of the dung beetles 🪲💩 we collect in the Azores, in June/July 2024. The diversity is low, and includes alien species. bdj.pensoft.net/article/163289/
DUNGPOOL team presented the project's first results at the @sibecol @_AEET_ conference, in Pontevedra (Spain).
Eva Cuesta @biotura will be presenting today @sibecol @_AEET_ meeting, DUNGPOOL's first results of the field experiments conducted in Madrid region with open top chambers. Session GSE, 13.15, room: Auditorio
Almudena Dueñas will give a talk today @sibecol @_AEET_ meeting, focused on DUNGPOOL's first results of the temperature controlled experiments we performed (also part of her PhD research). Session GSE, 12.00, room: Auditorio
DUNGPOOL fieldwork is over! We had three amazing fieldwork seasons, with a lof of hard work, adventures and fun. Now is time to finish processing the samples, analyse data, and hopefully find interesting results. Stay tunned
Happy Holidays and all the best for 2025. Let the good times roll, and get your ugly Christmas sweaters out!
Autumn experiments done! 1600 individuals of 3 species were used for evaluating the effect of temperature and species interactions on different ecosystem functions. 10 interaction treatments x 2🌡️treatments. A great effort from the team! @biotura @Guida_Santos7 & Almudena Dueñas
We are almost ready to start a new round of lab experiments, in which we will evaluate the effects of temperature and species order of arrival, on 💩🪲different ecosystem services! More news soon!
El proyecto DUNGPOOOL marca su presencia en la Noche de la Investigación de @CaixaForum En nuestra actividad "Los habitantes del Inframundo", os damos a conocer con un juego divertido, el maravilloso mundo de los artrópodos 🪲🕷️🐜🦗🦟🪳🪰🐝🐞🦋🐛. ¡Acercaros el dia 27!
La Noche de la investigación de #CaixaForum, es una oportunidad única para interactuar directamente con científicas y científicos y descubrir cómo la ciencia influye en nuestro día a día.
DUNGPOOL team that took part of the Azorean expedition. @biotura @Guida_Santos7 Almudena Dueñas, Pauli Borges, Laurine Parmentier & Abrão Leite Amazing people that made this expedition posible and successfull!
Erica McAlister @flygirlNHM and @CharlieBurrell_ enthusing over a fresh cow pat at Knepp whilst considering the role of flies and dung beetles in recycling nutrients and removing dung. More conservation videos at youtube.com/@bill_sutherla… youtube.com/watch?v=hsHD-X…

Dung ecology
Fieldwork in the Azores finally comes to an end. Terceira Islands granted us many specimens, and a few Aphodiinae, which we haven't seen in the other islands. Now is time to pack everything back to Madrid, and analyse the samples collected. More news a few months from now!
And we are done with Faial Island! Finally we found dung beetles in many traps, and saw activity in the dung. We are off to Terceira, the las island of the field trip. Many thanks to this amazing team @biotura @Guida_Santos7 Almudena Dueñas & Laurine Parmentier
Fieldwork in 🌋 Pico Island is done. Very few specimens collected 🫤 these are not good news, and might reflect decades of abuse of ivermectins, a 💉 medicine given to 🐄 cattle that affects 💩🪲dung beetles Next stop: Faial Island
After a few days in Terceira Isl., setting up everything, we were finally off to Pico Isl. The 5 hours ⛴️ ferry journey went smoothly and we are (almost) ready to start the 💩experiments. More news soon
