A total of 16 species of beetles of the Scarabaeidae family were found both in sheep excrement and in the 10-centimetre layer of soil beneath the excrement. The imagines of Scarabaeidae make their appearance in one-day old excrement (after 1 day's exposure of sheep dung on the pasture), and the larval forms slightly later. It was calculated that during a season the imagines of scarabs carry from 12-33 g d. wt. of sheep excrement per 1m2 of pasture into the soil.}, title={Analysis of a sheep pasture ecosystem in the Pieniny Mountains (the Carpathians). 11, The role of coprophagous beetles (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae) in the utilization of sheep dung}, type={Text}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl/miiz/Content/73393/PDF/WA058_86674_P2840-T22_Eko-Pol-A-Nr-3-4.pdf}, volume={22}, number={3/4}, journal={Ekologia Polska}, publisher={Polish Scientific Publishers}, keywords={mountain pastures, Scarabaeidae, coprophagia, Poland, Pieniny Mountains}, }
