Resumo: | Scarabaeinae specimens were collected with the use of pitfall traps      baited with human excrement, rotten meat and rotting banana, between May 2009      and April 2010, in three forest fragments in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul,      Brazil: ‘Morro do Elefante’ (MOEL), ‘Morro do Cerrito’ (MOCE) and ‘Campus da      Universidade Federal de Santa Maria’ (UFSM). A total of 19,699 individuals      belonging to 33 species were collected. Canthidium aff.       trinodosum Boheman, 1858, Canthon latipes      Blanchard, 1845, Dichotomius assifer (Eschscholtz 1822),       Eurysternus caribaeus (Herbst 1789),       Canthidium sp. and Canthon lividus      Blanchard, 1845, were the most abundant species. MOEL showed the greatest      richness, MOCE the greatest abundance, while UFSM showed the lowest values of      richness and abundance. The greatest similarity (qualitative and quantitative)      was found between MOEL and MOCE, while the lowest occurred between MOCE and      UFSM. Only 51% of the species were common to all three fragments. The richness      and abundance of Scarabaeinae were positively correlated with the air      temperature. The richness of the fragment decreased according to the smaller      size and the greater degree of disturbance of vegetation structure.
