Odonata assemblages in anthropogenically impacted lotic habitats
Journal of Limnology, 2020 Increasing human pressures have a negative impact on freshwater habitats and their biota worldwide. To protect habitats and the species contained within them, ecological assessments over a gradient of near natural to degraded freshwater habitats are ...

Immune function and parasite resistance in male and polymorphic female
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2006 Background Colour polymorphisms are widespread and one of the prime examples is the colour polymorphism in female coenagrionid damselflies: one female morph resembles the male colour (andromorph) while one, or more, female morphs are described as ...

Diversity of Odonates (Odonata, Anisoptera & Zygoptera) in the Theniet El Had National Park-North West of Algeria [PDF]
Journal of Insect Biodiversity and Systematics, 2023 The aim of this study is to make an inventory of the fauna of the Odonata in Theniet El Had National Park, which helps managers to make appropriate decisions for the conservation of these species. The site is entirely forested (Cedrus and Quercus species)

The macroecology of immunity: predominant influence of climate on invertebrate immune response
Ecography, EarlyView.The immune system is the primary defense against parasites. With the ever‐increasing rate of disease, epidemiologic models considering geographic variation in immune responses could prove useful. Despite increasing interest in the macroecology of parasitism and infectious diseases, we know little about the macroecology of immune responses (i.e ...

European Journal of Entomology, 2015 The selection of oviposition sites by insects can significantly affect egg mortality. Spreadwing damselflies (Odonata: Lestidae) predominantly lay their eggs in parts of plants growing above the surface of water and only occasionally also those parts ...

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty
Insect Science, EarlyView.Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.
