This paper resolves a long-standing taxonomic issue in dung beetles by using phylogenomic data to propose a revised tribal classification for Afro-Eurasian species.

The paper analyzes 50 years of European arthropod occurrence data to show heterogeneous responses to global change, with climate variables and agricultural intensification driving shifts in distribution.

The paper uses low-cost DNA extraction and Ultraconserved Elements to generate a phylogenetic tree of rare dung beetles from museum specimens, revealing reclassification of a genus.
