MENDIVIL NIETO, Julián Alexander et al. Dung beetles associated with sustainable cattle ranching systems in different regions of Colombia. Biota colombiana [online]. 2020, vol.21, n.2, pp.134-141. ISSN 0124-5376.  https://doi.org/10.21068/c2020.v21n02a09.

We studied the fauna of dung beetles associated with sustainable livestock systems in different biogeographic regions of Colombia, with the purpose of determining the local dung fauna associated with the livestock landscape. In this article the data set includes records of dung beetles of the subfamily Scarabaeinae from 18 cattle ranches located in eight departments of Colombia: Atlántico (1), Boyacá (2), Caldas (2), Caquetá (1), Cesar (3), Meta (2), Tolima (3) and Valle del Cauca (4). The database comprises 1618 records taken from 11 255 specimens belonging to 19 genera, 42 species, and 32 morphospecies.
