IF DUNG BEETLES (SCARABAEIDAE: SCARABAEINAE) AROSE IN ASSOCIATION WITH DINOSAURS, DID THEY ALSO SUFFER A MASS CO-EXTINCTION AT THE K-PG BOUNDARY?

If Dung Beetles (Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) Arose in Association with Dinosaurs, Did They Also Suffer a Mass Co-Extinction at the K-Pg Boundary?

The evolutionary success of beetles and numerous other terrestrial insects is generally attributed to co-radiation with flowering plants but most studies have focused on herbivorous or pollinating insects.Non-herbivores represent a significant proportion of beetle diversity yet potential factors that influence their diversification have been largel

Morphological Responses of a Light-Demanding Alstonia scholaris and a Shade-Tolerant Eusideroxylon zwageri to the Air Humidity and Light Intensity

The response of tropical trees to the change of light intensity Wheeled Commodes has been reported to be varied among different species.Some reports argued that the growth was increasing parallel to the increasing of light intensity, but other reports mentioned that the sensitivity to the light intensity was depending on the species.Another environ
