Dung beetle database
We used a dung beetle matrix that was constructed using two main sources: A) 12 referential data bases (Luis Ángel Arango library catalogue, Antioquia virtual library catalogue, DialNet, ISI Web of Science, Latindex, PLoS, ProQuest, PubMed, REDALYC, Scopus, Science Direct and SciELO) in which we selected all the published articles, graduate and postgraduate thesis, and information of different institutions realised in Colombia related with dung beetles localities, and B) the information reviewed in 16940 specimens deposited in 26 national entomological collections \cite{Noriega_2014}.
