Flight of the dragonflies and damselflies [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2016 This work is a synthesis of our current understanding of the mechanics, aerodynamics and visually mediated control of dragonfly and damselfly flight, with the addition of new experimental and computational data in several key areas. These are: the diversity of dragonfly wing morphologies, the aerodynamics of gliding flight, force generation in flapping

Freshwater Reservoir, Ecological Traps and Source-Sink Dynamics
Diversity, 2022 Odonata are biodiversity indicators that adequately represent many aquatic and semi-aquatic animal species. We recorded over two field seasons a rich lentic community of Odonata (18 species) in a large artificial freshwater reservoir (ca. 55 ha) built 40
