Dung Beetles: From Ecosystem Engineers to Invasive Species-Dataset

The dataset on Excel spreadsheet is abundance of native and exotic dung beetles sampled across three seasons (Autumn, spring and summer) and by using native (kangaroo) and exotic (cattle and sheep) dung baits. The beetles were sampled in 2017 and 2018 at eight sites ranging in elevation from 385 to 1357 m. At each site, pitfall traps were baited with either cattle, sheep, or kangaroo dung, with replicated

本数据集存储于Excel电子表格中，涵盖了在秋季、春季与夏季三个季节中，分别以本土（袋鼠）粪便与外来（牛、羊）粪便为诱饵采集得到的丰富本土与外来蜣螂（dung beetles）样本。该采样工作于2017年与2018年在8个海拔跨度为385米至1357米的样点中开展。每个样点均布设了以牛、羊或袋鼠粪便为诱饵的陷阱诱捕器（pitfall traps），并设置了重复采样组。
