Distribusi kumbang pemakan bangkai pada beberapa tempat di Papua

Abstract: Scavenger-beetles were surveyed at various areas in the northern part of Papua,
Indonesia from June 2007 to June 2008. The results show a dominancy of Phaeochrous
emarginatus and Anaides spp. which have different distributions. P.emarginatus is found in primary and secondary forest close to villages and towns and even in the close environment of settlements. Anaides spp. however occur in outlying districts, mostly in secondary forest. Using pitfall traps with fish and meat not only members of the Hybosoridae were found, but also members of Geotrupidae (dung-beetlesJ, Trogidae (carcass-beetles), Silphidae (carrion-beetles), Staphylinidae (rove beetles) and Histeridae (clown-beetles). Most of them could not be identified yet.
