Scarabaeidae Beetle Taxonomy and Biogeography

Description: This cluster of papers focuses on the biogeographic regionalization of the Neotropical and Mexican regions, emphasizing the analysis of endemism, cladistics, and phylogenetics. It explores the distribution patterns of various taxa, including dung beetles, and delves into the concept of biotic elements. The papers also discuss the use of panbiogeography and the identification of areas of endemism.
