| description | This work aims at achieving a synthesis, and for this reason incorporates much unpublished information (more than 50% of all the data presented here). The goal is a better overall vision of nesting behavior and associated processes of the nine Eurysternus species for which data are available. Thus, we used not only published information, but also information from laboratory notebooks (covering 1967 to 2001) and observations on species never formally studied to date. Eurysternus, a morphologically quite homogeneous genus, shows two distinct types of nesting behavior (i.e., that of E. foedus, which makes brood-masses; and that of other Eurysternus species, so far as they are known, which make brood-balls), representing two directions in the evolution of Scarabaeinae nesting behavior. Beyond this, among the species showing the most common nesting behavior pattern—with several brood-balls integrated in a compound nest—some species care for their young after oviposition (subsocial species) while others do not. A review of data on a total of 307 Eurysternus pairs (representing seven species) maintained and studied in the laboratory, and four Huerta et al.: A nalysis comparative in several species of Eurysternus Eurysternus species (E. deplanatus, E. inflexus, E. jessopi, and E. magnus) whose nests were observed in the field demostrated that some species (though not all) develop two different types of nests (provisional or experimental, and definitive). Infanticide has also been observed, by the mother, by the father, and by both parents (for five of the nine species studied). While much is known in general about Eurysternus nesting behavior, synthesizing the data available raises new questions. |

Este artículo es un trabajo de síntesis, pero también incorpora mucha información inédita (más de un 50% del total). Para dar una nueva visión global de la nidificación en Eurysternus, utilizamos los datos ya publicados, la información reunida entre 1967 y 2001, conservada en los cuadernos de laboratorio, así como observaciones sobre especies nunca antes estudiadas. El propósito es presentar una visión de conjunto de la nidificación y de los procesos a ella asociados, en todas las especies de Eurysternus en donde se tiene información (9 especies). En un género muy homogéneo en su morfología, aparecen dos tipos de nidificación totalmente distintos (E. foedus que elabora masas-nido y las otras especies con nidificación conocida que fabrican bolas-nido) que corresponden a dos tendencias muy diferentes en la evolución de la nidificación dentro de los Scarabaeinae. Pero además, dentro de lo que sería el tipo de nidificación más representado: varias bolas-nido integrando un nido compuesto, aparecen especies con cuidados (subsociales) y sin cuidados post-oviposición. De la revisión de los datos obtenidos de 307 parejas mantenidas en el laboratorio y de cuatro especies cuyos nidos fueron observados en el campo, resalta la existencia en unas especies, pero no en todas, de dos tipos de nido (provisionales y definitivos), así como el infanticidio practicado por la madre, por el padre o por ambos progenitores. Sabemos realmente mucho de la nidificación de Eurysternus, pero la reunión de datos abre muchas preguntas nuevas.
