A revision of the systematics and distribution of the damselfly genus Prodasineura Cowley, 1934 (Odonata: Zygoptera: Platycnemididae) in Vietnam with description of two new species

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Taxonomy, 2020
Eight species of the genus Prodasineura Cowley, 1934 are recorded from Vietnam, including two newly described species: Prodasineura lancastrei sp. nov. and P. kong sp. nov. from north and central Vietnam.

BIMr2: Inference of migration rates and their drivers from multilocus genotypes

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, Page 2330-2342, August 2026.
Abstract Understanding how environmental factors drive recent migration is crucial for predicting species' responses to habitat change and for informing conservation strategies. There is one method available (BIMr) aimed at identifying the environmental factors associated with migration patterns using genetic data.

An experimental examination of dispersal decisions made by flight‐capable heteropteran insects in urban stormwater pond conditions

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 672-689, August 2026.
Salty conditions in urban stormwater ponds can influence dispersal timing in species‐specific ways for actively dispersing aquatic heteropteran insects. Assaying multiple aspects of dispersal propensity, Hesperocorixa obliqua emigrated earlier in stormwater pond conditions while overall probabilities remained unchanged; Notonecta undulata emigration ...

The Transcriptomic Response Along an Urbanization Gradient Is Also Temperature‐Dependent in a Freshwater Insect

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 16, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Urbanization has become one of the leading causes of habitat transformation affecting ecosystem functioning. However, the transcriptomic response to urbanization remains poorly understood. Here, we conducted a transcriptomic analysis along an urbanization gradient under different warming temperatures.

Climatic drivers prevail in montane and lowland Odonata latitudinal diversity gradients, but human modification erodes lowland patterns

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.
Latitudinal diversity gradients (LDGs) arise from the interplay of historical, ecological, and evolutionary processes, yet these drivers may differ across landforms. Mountains, with steep elevational and climatic gradients, often sustain distinct diversity dynamics compared with adjacent lowlands, where vertical climatic gradients are weak and human ...

Mapping the local dielectric constant of a biological nanostructured system

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2021
The aim of this work is to determine the varying dielectric constant of a biological nanostructured system via electrostatic force microscopy (EFM) and to show how this method is useful to study natural photonic crystals.

A global systematic review of the effects of hydromorphological floodplain restoration on biodiversity

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Our evidence synthesis reinforces the notion that hydromorphological floodplain restorations, as a biodiversity conservation measure or NbS, can significantly enhance local floodplain biodiversity. However, such benefits were often compromised at least in part by invasive species post‐restoration, highlighting the importance of sustained management ...

Strategic conservation prioritization through creating and updating the regional species of greatest conservation need list in the northeastern United States

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.
Biodiversity is declining globally, underscoring the need for conservation strategies informed by regional expertise. In the northeastern United States, 14 state wildlife agencies and taxonomic experts developed the Regional Species of Greatest Conservation Need (RSGCN) list, revealing that global and national datasets captured only ~55% of regionally ...

An observation on the Odonata fauna of the Asansol-Durgapur Industrial Area, Burdwan, West Bengal, India

open access: yesJournal of Threatened Taxa, 2016
The present investigation was undertaken as a pilot study to examine the diversity, occurrence and distribution pattern of dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata) from the selected study sites of the Asansol-Durgapur industrial area of Burdwan District of ...

Conservation implications of shifting habitat use in migrating insects: Selection patterns in a threatened damselfly show that season‐specific actions are needed

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 4, Page 769-781, July 2026.
Well‐preserved heathlands of NW Italy are the main overwintering habitat of Sympecma paedisca, while grassy margins in farmland are used only in summer and are avoided from autumn onwards. Grassy margins in farmland act as corridors during the species' migrations between its breeding (ricefields) and overwintering (lowland heathlands) grounds ...
