Abstract


The Great King's beetle is a kind of large beetle widely distributed in tropical and subtropical areas of Asia. This paper aims to comprehensively analyze the multiple roles of the Great King's beetle in its natural ecosystem. Through literature review and field ecological observation, this study revealed the important functions of the King's flower tortoise in pollination, decomposition and food chain. The study showed that the King's flower tortoises have a positive impact on maintaining plant diversity by participating in the pollination process of plants. At the same time, their lifestyle in the larval stage promotes soil nutrient cycling and ecosystem health. In addition, the species' links in the food chain reveal its potential value in energy transfer and biological control. The results of the study are expected to provide a scientific basis for ecological conservation, biodiversity maintenance and natural ecosystem management.
