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 ...

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

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
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 ...

Contrasting trophic-cascade effects driven by variation in morphology of the perches used by a larval damselfly

, 2016
1. The presence of habitat structures (e.g. caves, ledges, branches) has well-documented ecologicaleffects. However, it remains largely unknown how variation in the morphology of particular habitatstructures affects ecological interactions.2.

Dragonfly functional connectivity responses are dynamic relative to drought

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
During drought, dragonfly species richness decreases. Yet, dragonfly assemblages show a higher propensity for dispersal during drought. Dispersal pathways vary among the wet and dry periods, and relative to temporal changes in the landscape. While some dragonfly species can traverse plantation compartments, conservation corridors facilitate functional ...

Eco‐evolutionary context modifies a destructive plant invader's response to climate

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Abiotic environment–fitness relationships can be shaped by evolutionary, ecological, and eco‐evolutionary contexts. Summary Understanding the relationship between climate and fitness will be important when predicting how plant populations respond to climate change. We conducted a replicated common garden experiment (4 sites × 2 yr) with 96 genotypes (n

Comparative analysis of immune responses in ovipositing and non‐ovipositing females of European earwig Analyse comparative de la réponse immunitaire avant et après la ponte chez le forficule européen

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
Oviposition and care decrease the total haemocyte concentration. Oviposition and care affect haemocyte type proportions. Serratia marcescens challenge does not affect the immune cell parameters. Abstract Reproduction and immunity are essential biological processes that compete for resources and energy.
