🇬🇧 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

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!

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
