Microallopatric Speciation in Southern African Dung Beetle Genus <i>Macroderes</i> Driven by Miocene Aridification and Ancestral Flight Loss Open
Aim Southern Africa harbours a diverse array of dung beetles (Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae), with many species endemic to the region. Despite this diversity, the historical drivers of their evolution remain largely unexplored. This study inv…

A review of Sisyphini Dung Beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae) endemic to Mauritius: insights from subfossil evidence and phylogenetic analysis Open
Five indigenous species of Scarabaeinae are known from Mauritius island, classified into two genera: the monotypic Nesovinsonia Martinez & Pereira, 1958 and Nesosisyphus Vinson, 1946. This study conducts a taxonomic review of the latter ge…
