Parataxonomy vs. taxonomy in biodiversity studies - pitfalls and applicability of 'morphospecies' sorting
TL;DR: PUs are useless for inventories and area selection in conservation evaluation, biogeographical and autecological studies; they provide only uncertain data for studies in species turnover and overlap, but they can be used quite reliably for global comparisons of gross species richness, non-comparable descriptions of species richness of single sites or for comparisons of sites without species overlap.

TL;DR: Garnett and Christidis as mentioned in this paper argued that the lack of governance of taxonomy damages conservation efforts, harms the credibility of science, and is costly to society, and pointed out that the scientific community's failure to govern taxonomy threatens the effectiveness of global efforts to halt biodiversity loss.
The fossil record of Mesozoic and Tertiary Scarabaeoidea (Coleoptera : Polyphaga)
TL;DR: Based on a critical literature review of all recorded fossil Scarabaeoidea from the Mesozoic and Tertiary, the minimum age for families and/or subfamilies of this group is determined and an annotated catalogue of named fossils and ichnofossils of Scarabaelidea and of their lagerstAtten is given.

TL;DR: A catalogue and bibliography of fossil Scarabaeoidea (Lamellicornia) updated to Novem- ber 2007 is presented and 9 currently are considered as belonging to other taxa and 31 are doubtful due to a limited set of preserved characters.

Spatial separation of Afrotropical dung beetle guilds: a trade‐off between competitive superiority and energetic constraints (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)
Frank-Thorsten Krell,Sylvia Krell-Westerwalbesloh,Ingo Weiß,Paul Eggleton,Karl Eduard Linsenmair +4 more
TL;DR: In the forest-savanna mosaic of Cote d'Ivoire, clear patterns at the guild level determined by the habitat type and time of day are found: in the savanna parkland during the day, telecoprids (rollers) and their kleptoparasites are dominant, and at night, paracoprids and endocopRids (dwellers) dominate the dung beetle assemblages.
