A straightforward protocol to sample morphological traits of dragonflies and damselflies in the field [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionScarcity of morphological data limits the potential of functional ecology approaches, which rely on traits to elucidate ecological processes. Dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata) are a frequently used ecological model for which, however, only limited ...

Latitudinal gradient of thermal safety margin in an Australian damselfly: implications for population vulnerability [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceThe thermal tolerance of species may be exceeded by the predicted temperature increases and thus contribute to species extinction. However, the impact of temperature increases is thought to vary between climate regions and across latitudes.
