Resumo: Passive collection methods, with the use of traps, have been used to collect beetles of the Scarabaeidae family. However, in the Cerrado (Brazilian savanna-like vegetation) there are few studies about these insects, despite its importance to the ecosystem and to the biological control of cattle pests. The aim of this work was to evaluate techniques of dung beetle (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae sensu stricto) collections with the use of flight interception traps, pitfall traps baited with human faeces, and with carcass. The experiment was accomplished in three different phytophysiognomies (low tree and shrub savanna, semi-open scrub mixed with trees and gallery forests) of the Ecological Reserve of IBGE (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística), 35 km away from Brasília, DF, in the rainy season (October/1999 to January/2000) and in the dry season (May to August/2000). The pitfall trap baited with faeces and the low tree and shrub savanna presented the greatest richness and abundance of species. There was a positive association between rains and the temporal distribution of the beetles. The pitfall trap baited with human faeces is recommended to collect dung beetles.

No Cerrado existem poucos estudos sobre estes insetos, apesar da sua importância para o ecossistema e para o controle biológico de pragas do gado bovino. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar técnicas de coleta de besouros copronecrófagos (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae sensu stricto) com armadilha de interceptação de vôo e armadilha de queda com fezes e com carcaça. O experimento foi realizado em três fitofisionomias (campo sujo, cerrado sensu stricto e mata de galeria) da Reserva Ecológica do IBGE (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística), a 35 km de Brasília, DF, na época das chuvas (outubro/1999 a janeiro/2000) e da seca (maio a agosto/2000). A armadilha de queda com isca de fezes e o campo sujo apresentaram maior riqueza e abundância de espécies. Houve uma associação positiva entre as chuvas e a distribuição temporal dos besouros. A armadilha de queda com isca de fezes humanas é a mais indicada para coletas de besouros copronecrófagos.Pesquisa Agropecuaria BrasileiraPesquisa Agropecuária BrasileiraMilhomem, Michelle SilvaMello, Fernando Zagury Vaz deDiniz, Ivone Rezende2003-11-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.sct.embrapa.br/index.php/pab/article/view/6697Pesquisa Agropecuaria Brasileira; v.38, n.11, nov. 2003; 1249-1256Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira; v.38, n.11, nov. 2003; 1249-12561678-39210100-104xreponame:Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira (Online)instname:Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária (Embrapa)instacron:EMBRAPAporhttps://seer.sct.embrapa.br/index.php/pab/article/view/6697/3754info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2010-08-19T19:39:28Zoai:ojs.seer.sct.embrapa.br:article/6697Revistahttp://seer.sct.embrapa.br/index.php/pabPRIhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.phppab@sct.embrapa.br || sct.pab@embrapa.br1678-39210100-204Xopendoar:2010-08-19T19:39:28Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira (Online) - Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária (Embrapa)false
