Rolling Dung in the Atlantic Forest: Using Interactive Infographics for Teaching the Diversity of Scarab Beetles
Abstract
Infographics are a vehicle for transmitting data and information that once joined with visual representation make the process of content assimilation simpler. In view of the communicative power of images in the digital era, it was developed an interactive infographic with information about the Dung beetles present in the Atlantic Forest from the Brazilian Northeastern. With emphasis on its eating habits and ecosystem services, it has a focus the main threats to the biome, and consequently to the beetles. Graphic and informative tools such as infographics can be used in museum's exhibitions, in classrooms, or on websites as a way to stimulate zoology-related learning.
