Diversity of Palaearctic Dragonflies and Damselflies (Odonata)
Diversity, 2022 More than 1.2 million distribution records were used to create species distribution models for 402 Palaearctic species of dragonflies and damselflies. On the basis of these diversity maps of total, lentic and lotic diversity for the whole of the Palaearctic (excluding China and the Himalayan region) are presented.

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Habitat management of small lotic waterbodies is essential to maintain flow and the quality of the habitats. For this purpose, aquatic plants are typically removed by authorities. This is done in a more or less disruptive manner, depending on the risk of interference with the bed.

Compensatory growth and oxidative stress in a damselfly [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2008 Physiological costs of compensatory growth are poorly understood, yet may be the key components in explaining why growth rates are typically submaximal. Here we tested the hypothesized direct costs of compensatory growth in terms of oxidative stress. We assessed oxidative stress in a study where we generated compensatory growth in body mass by exposing

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021 Agriocnemis femina (Brauer, 1868) and Ischnura senegalensis (Rambur, 1842) are two damselflies inhabiting paddy lands. As an intermediate predator, they play an important role in controlling certain crop pest and mosquitoes.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Competition for food and reproductive interference (negative interspecific sexual interactions) have been identified as major drivers of species exclusion. Still, how these biotic interactions jointly determine competitive dominance remains largely unknown.

Cannibalism by damselflies increases with rising temperature [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2017 Trophic interactions are likely to change under climate warming. These interactions can be altered directly by changing consumption rates, or indirectly by altering growth rates and size asymmetries among individuals that in turn affect feeding.
