The Dragonflies and Damselflies (Odonata) of Utah [PDF]
Abstract. An updated faunal list containing 94 species of Odonata (60 Anisoptera and 34 Zygoptera) for Utah is pre - sented. Of the 95 Odonata species recorded in past publications as being from Utah, 8 have been removed from the Utah Odonata list, while 7 new state records have been added.

Factors Influencing the Distribution of Endemic Damselflies in Vanuatu [PDF]
Vanuatubasis Ober and Staniczek is a genus of damselfly endemic to Vanuatu. Little is known about the distribution and general natural history of the genus. We present the results of 14 weeks of fieldwork in Vanuatu to provide a better understanding of the biology of this genus. Specifically, we tested ecological niche models to predict the presence of

Calopteryx Damselfly Dispersions Arising from Multiscale Responses to Landscape Structure
Using spatially explicit simulation models, we explored the extent to which fine-scale (i.e., meters to tens of meters) movement behaviors could be used to predict broader scale patterns of distribution on heterogeneous landscapes.

Recent progress on the flight of dragonflies and damselflies [PDF]
Remarkable flight performance is key to the survival of adult Odonata. They integrate varied three-dimensional architectures and kinematics of the wings, unsteady aerodynamics, and sensory feedback control in order to achieve agile flight. Therefore, a diverse range of approaches are necessary to understand their flight strategy comprehensively ...
