The project established 6 demonstration sites on farms within the Southern New England to monitor dung beetle activity and map dung beetle species distribution between July 2012 and May 2013. The project gathered baseline data on the distribution of existing populations of native and introduced dung beetle populations and their seasonal presence in the ecosystem.
