The dung beetle fauna richness are very high in tropical regions of the world, mainly, the African and South-East Asian regions. Dung beetle occur throughout the world (except Antarctica) comprising approximately 7000 species. The dung beetles (scarabaeoid) are a member of the order Coleoptera. Scarabaeidae is one of the taxonomically richest group of beetles with many representatives worldwide among the coleopteran families. Scarabaeidae, family of dung beetle in India includes the subfamilies like, Scarabaeinae, Aphodiinae, Geotrupinae, Hybosorinae, Orphininae, Chironinae and Dynamopinae. Dung beetles measure from 3 to 70 mm long and usually are brown or black; sometimes they have a metallic luster. The name (dung-beetles) has been earned by them through their most universal utilization of animal dung as food for themselves, and for their larvae, though, some species for dung beetle larvae are feed upon the other diets, such as, carrion, fungi, other decaying vegetable matters etc., too. The beetles differ in their feeding habits and accordingly, can be categorized into their distinct sub groups.

Sustainable horticulture is gaining increasing attention in the field of agriculture as demand for the food production rises to the world community. Sustainable horticultural systems are based on ecological principles to farm, optimizes pest and disease management approaches through environmentally friendly and renewable strategies in production agriculture. It is a discipline that addresses current issues such as food security, water pollution, soil health, pest control, and biodiversity depletion. Novel, environmentally-friendly solutions are proposed based on integrated knowledge from sciences as diverse as agronomy, soil science, entomology, ecology, chemistry and food sciences. Sustainable horticulture interprets methods and processes in the farming system to the global level. For that, horticulturists use the system approach that involves studying components and interactions of a whole system to address scientific, economic and social issues. In that respect, sustainable horticulture is not a classical, narrow science. Instead of solving problems using the classical painkiller approach that treats only negative impacts, sustainable horticulture treats problem sources.

In many ecosystems dung beetles play a crucial role--both ecologically and economically--in the decomposition of large herbivore dung. Their activities provide scientists with an excellent opportunity to explore biological community dynamics. This collection of essays offers a concise account of the population and community ecology of dung beetles worldwide, with an emphasis on comparisons between arctic, temperate, and tropical species assemblages. Useful insights arise from relating the vast differences in species' life histories to their population and community-level consequences. The authors also discuss changes in dung beetle faunas due to human-caused habitat alteration and examine the possible effects of introducing dung beetles to cattle-breeding areas that lack efficient native species. "With the expansion of cattle breeding areas, the ecology of dung beetles is a subject of great economic concern as well as one of intense theoretical interest. This excellent book represents an up-to-date ecological study covering important aspects of the dung beetle never before presented."--Gonzalo Halffter, Instituto de Ecologia, Mexico City Originally published in 1991. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
