Christian Deschodt has been involved in the discovery and description of more than 50 dung beetle species
Dung beetles rely on the Milky Way for direction at night, but new research shows how light pollution is causing them to lose their bearings. This could spell danger for other nocturnal creatures, too
Habitat destruction, the use of pesticides and climate change is driving the rapid decline of these tiny creatures
Dung beetles use different directional sensors to achieve the highest possible navigational precision in difficult conditions
