Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
Dung beetles are sensitive to environmental quality, therefore being excellent bioindicators and are being used to assess the effects of habitat transformation. These beetles are detritivores, thus contributing to the environment by cycling soil nutrients, aerating the soil, and performing secondary seed dispersal. In this chapter, our primary goal is to compile from the scattered literature information on the dung beetle species already identified in the Atlantic Forest north of the São Francisco River. We provide information on the diversity, biology, and conservation status of dung beetle species already evaluated, as well as point out the gaps in our knowledge and regions that still lack surveys. Our literature review found 6 tribes, 23 genera, and 89 species of dung beetles, comprising data from Atlantic Forest, Restinga and Brejos de Altitude ecosystems in the states of Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Pernambuco and Alagoas. Although information on the diversity of dung beetle in the northern Atlantic Forest is still limited in terms of territorial extension, its importance and fragility are undeniable. The number of endemic species is significant, thus making this area and its beetle fauna a priority for conservation.
