为了确定泰国季节性常绿森林中不同种类的本地哺乳动物粪便对金龟科物种的吸引力是否存在差异，我们使用了以四种动物（吠鹿、山巴鹿、亚洲象和长尾猕猴）的新鲜粪便为诱饵的陷阱和无诱饵对照。这些陷阱于2010年3月在考艾国家公园部署了24小时。共采集到圣甲虫9属23种。其中，looparius schereri （Petrovitz）代表了一种新的国家记录，已知分布在泰国西北部。不同饵料类型的圣甲虫总体丰度和丰富度差异均显著（p< 0.001）。从多变量角度出发，判别函数分析计算了4个轴来区分不同粪型吸引的金龟子群落。尾尾猕猴粪便群落与其他饵料处理存在显著差异（p< 0.001），其他饵料处理之间存在重叠；83.3%的陷阱被重新分类为正确的诱饵类型。杂食性猕猴粪便吸引的甲虫群落与其他诱饵处理明显不同，而且甲虫种类最多，而草食性猕猴粪便的吸引力要小得多。这证实了新大陆的研究表明，杂食性哺乳动物的粪便吸引了更多数量和多样性的蜣螂。因此，保护热带森林系统中的杂食性大型动物对于保护丰富的屎壳郎群落是必要的。
To determine if dung from various species of native mammals are attractive to species of Scarabaeidae differentially in a seasonal evergreen forest in Thailand, we used pitfall traps baited with fresh dung of four species (barking deer, sambar deer, Asian elephant, pig-tailed macaque) and an unbaited control. The pitfalls were deployed in Khao Yai National Park for 24 hours in March 2010. All totaled, 9 genera and 23 species of scarab beetles were collected. Of these, Loboparius schereri (Petrovitz) represents a new country record with a known range to the northwest of Thailand. Overall scarab abundance and richness each differed significantly (p< 0.001) among bait types. From a multivariate perspective, discriminant function analysis computed four axes to distinguish the community of scarab beetles that was attracted to each dung type. The pigtailed macaque dung community was significantly different from that of all other baits (p< 0.001), whereas overlap existed among the other bait treatments; 83.3% of the pitfalls were re-classified to the correct bait type. Dung of the omnivorous macaques attracted a beetle community that was dramatically distinct from those of the other bait treatments and with the greatest abundance and richness of scarab species, whereas dung of the herbivorous species was far less attractive. This corroborates New World studies that have shown dung from the diet of omnivorous mammals attracts greater numbers and diversity of dung beetles. As such, conservation of omnivorous large animals in tropical forest systems is necessary for the conservation of rich dung beetle communities.
