Higher gregarine parasitism often in sibling species of host damselflies with smaller geographical distributions [PDF]
, 2012 1. This study investigated inter-specific variation in parasitism by gregarines (Eugregarinorida: Actinocephalidae), among sibling species of damselflies (Odonata: Zygoptera), in relation to relative size of geographical ranges of host species.

Impact of a small artificial water source on the diversity of odonates (Insecta : Odonata) in an urban landscape [PDF]
Arthropods, 2021 Rapid urbanisation is mainly responsible for the degradation and fragmentation of natural ecosystems in urban areas. Dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata) constitute an important part of urban biodiversity.

Thermal response of two sexually dimorphic Calopteryx (Odonata) over an ambient temperature range
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Organisms may internally or behaviorally regulate their body temperatures or conform to the ambient air temperatures. Previous evidence is mixed on whether wing pigmentation influences thermoregulation in various odonates.

Study design and mark-recapture estimates of dispersal: A case study with the endangered damselfly Coenagrion mercuriale [PDF]
, 2012 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
