Field estimates of reproductive success in a model insect: behavioural surrogates are poor predictors of fitness [PDF]

, 2011
Understanding, and therefore measuring, factors that determine fitness is a central problem in evolutionary biology. We studied a natural population of Coenagrion puella (Odonata: Zygoptera) over two entire breeding seasons, with over a thousand ...

Diversity and Community Structure of Dragonfly and Damselfly (Odonata) at the Selorejo Waterfall Area, Ponorogo Regency, East Java Indonesia

Jurnal Riset Biologi dan Aplikasinya, 2021
Selorejo Waterfall is a natural tourism area that is quite far from downtown Ponorogo and directly adjacent to the Gunung Sigogor Nature Reserve. Hence, this area has the potential as a natural habitat for dragonfly and damselfly.

Mate recognition in Acanthagrion truncatum (Odonata: Coenagrionidae) - doi: 10.4025/actascibiolsci.v35i3.16138

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2013
Sexual and species recognition, along with sexual color dimorphism, play an important role in the reproduction of many animal species. In this article, it was investigated if males of the dimorphic Neotropical damselfly Acanthagrion truncatum are able ...

Can damselfly larvae serve as bioindicator species for assessing contamination of organophosphate esters in aquatic environments?

Ecological Indicators
Damselfly larvae have been widely used to evaluate the environmental quality of freshwater ecosystems. However, there have been limited studies on the pollution characteristics of organophosphate esters (OPEs) in damselfly larvae. This study investigated

The Effect of Age on Survival Is Similar in Males and Females of an Aquatic Insect Species

Ecologies
Age is a critical intrinsic factor that influences the probability of survival of organisms on Earth. In many animals, the lifestyles and habitat occupancy of males and females are so different that the effect of age could be sex-dependent.
