Maintenance of polymorphism in the orb weaving spider species Agalenatea redii (Araneae, Araneidae) [PDF]
The maintenance of polymorphism within populations may be the consequence of several elements of species life history such as use of space, activity rhythms, predation, parasitism and reproduction.

Voronoi diagrams and Delaunay triangulation for modelling animal territorial behaviour
Modelling competition for territory in animals is widespread technique but lack the implementation of multiple variables in editable scenarios. We used movable automata, inspired by territorial dragonflies to provide new insights into the dynamics of animal competition for territory and the impact of attraction/repulsion between animals.

A synopsis of the genusTelebasis(Odonata: Coenagrionidae)
Abstract In this synopsis all 50 species of the primarily neotropical genus Telebasis are keyed, diagnosed, and illustrated. Helveciagrion is considered a junior subjective synonym of Telebasis, T. coccinata a junior subjective synonym of T. coccinea, and T. limoncocha a junior subjective synonym of T. griffinii.

Abstract Ecosystem engineers facilitate beneficiary species by ameliorating physical habitat. The stress‐gradient hypothesis (SGH) predicts the importance of facilitation in communities should increase with physical stress but has rarely been tested in freshwater.

Study design and mark-recapture estimates of dispersal: A case study with the endangered damselfly Coenagrion mercuriale [PDF]
Accurate data on dispersal ability are vital to the understanding of how species are affected by fragmented landscapes. However, three factors may limit the ability of field studies to detect a representative sample of dispersal events: (1) the number of

What determines mate choices? Heterospecific mating in Sympetrum dragonflies
Abstract Heterospecific interactions are an important phenomenon of animal epigamic behaviour; however, they remain understudied within important groups, such as insects. Dragonflies are an ideal group for research on interspecific mating and possible hybridisation as they are easily identifiable, large insects, with a conspicuous mating process, often

Pond surface area, total plant richness and non‐native plant richness were positively associated with taxonomic richness. Conductivity was negatively associated with taxonomic richness and macroinvertebrate abundance. A positive correlation was recorded between overall local contribution to beta diversity (LCBD) values and species replacement LCBD ...
