The Seed Dispersers of the Month are Tunneler 'n' Roller Dung Beetles
Among entomologists, there is an international group of dung beetle taxonomists, ecologists and systematists working together to conserve scarabaeine dung beetles and support their use as an invertebrate focal taxon for biodiversity study and conservation. A number of them are additionnally studying how these coloredful creatures disperse seeds above and below the ground by rolling and burying them, respectively. We could not avoid touching to this poopy, Rock 'n' Roll topic ! Read the Seed Dispersers of the Month. (Photo : The tunneler Oxysternon conspicillatum. © Kevina Vulinec).
