Form-function relationships in dragonfly mandibles under an evolutionary perspective [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
© 2017 The Author(s). Functional requirements may constrain phenotypic diversification or foster it. For insect mouthparts, the quantification of the relationship between shape and function in an evolutionary framework remained largely unexplored.

Cossid moths (Lepidoptera: Cossidae) as pests of woody plants – A review

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 512-531, November 2025.
Abstract The Cossidae is a worldwide family of macro‐moths popularly known as carpenter moths due to the larval habit of boring in the wood of living plants. This review compiles current knowledge on the characteristics, diversity and bionomy of cossid moths as well as the damage they cause on woody plants.

Local Habitat Features, but Not Isolation, Shape Alpine Odonate Assemblages: Implications for Modelling and Conservation

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Human impacts and climate change are intensifying the fragmentation of freshwater habitats, raising concerns about the ability of aquatic species to disperse between increasingly isolated habitat patches. To explore these dynamics, we used dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata) as a model taxon to examine how two principles of island ...

Differing Impacts of Livestock Farming and Ranching on Aquatic Insect Biodiversity: A Global Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 9, September 2025.
This meta‐analysis investigates the impact of livestock farming and ranching on the abundance and richness of major aquatic insect orders. Livestock farming significantly reduced the richness of Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera. However, livestock farming did not significantly impact abundance, suggesting finite shifts in aquatic insect ...

Small whiteface (Leucorrhinia dubia: Odonata) reintroduction update highlights the importance of long‐term monitoring and regular habitat management

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 5, Page 859-868, September 2025.
In 2001, 80 larvae of Leucorrhinia dubia were translocated from degraded raised bog in Slovakia to the newly created peatbog pools in Czechia, and the population has been regularly monitored. Based on the capture‐mark‐recapture and exuviae surveys in 2015 and 2024, the population size is stable, comprising ca.

Testing the Optimal Foraging Theory in a Generalist Feeder: The Case of Reintroduced European Pond Turtles and Its Impact on Macroinvertebrates Communities

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
In this study we investigated the macroinvertebrate (MI) communities in two newly created, man‐made ponds concurrently with the diet of captive‐bred European pond turtles that were translocated there. We aimed at assessing whether turtles were operating as generalist feeders, and if successive reintroductions of turtles would affect the overall MI ...
