Abstract
We investigated trophic networks between dung beetles and megafauna species in five forest fragments in Singapore varying in size and isolation. We found that Singapore’s dung beetle communities were attracted to extant and extinct dung types from different dietary groups. All forest fragment networks were similar, and displayed high generalism and high nestedness.
