摘要
We present a list of dung beetle species associated with the band of foothill-Andean transition forest found in the municipality of Villavicencio, Colombia. This section of forest is characterized by a heterogeneous landscape marked by anthropic activities such as livestock and agriculture. It is composed of a matrix of gallery or riparian forest relics, fragments of secondary high forest, and extensive open areas. We recorded 35 species in 17 genera of dung beetles. This list is presented with data on their distribution, ecological aspects, and habitat preferences, according to the abundance recorded during the study. Some altitudinal ranges were expanded. In addition to emphasizing the importance of completing the lists of species of interest areas, such as the Foothills-Andean Forest strip in the eastern mountain range of Colombia. Finally, some considerations were discussed to improve the study and increase our knowledge of Colombian dung beetles.
