Diversity of damselflies (Zygoptera) in Gorewada International Bio- Park, Nagpur, Central India [PDF]

open access: yesArthropods, 2014
Gorewada International Bio-Park consists of a lake as a major water source, marshy shore and heterogeneity in vegetation. Its geographical location is 21o11'N 79o2'E. Observations are made through walking line transects along the lake border to determine

Diversity of UV Reflection Patterns in Odonata

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata) are large-eyed diurnal insects that exhibit a variety of color patterns on their wings and/or bodies. Because Odonata can perceive light with wavelengths extending from ultraviolet (UV) to red, the color patterns ...

Evolution of Crematogaster sordidula (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) Ants in the Mediterranean Region During Plio‐Pleistocene Climatic Changes

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 615-638, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding insect responses to global climate change involves identifying strategies used during past climate oscillations. Phylogeography offers a powerful framework to unravel how historical climatic and geological events have shaped the spatial genetic patterns of species, providing critical insights into evolutionary processes, whereas ...

Whole System Ecohydrological Change Following Natural Flood Management and a Five‐Year Beaver Reintroduction Trial

open access: yesEcohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 4, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Once‐common beavers have been absent from the British landscape for centuries, but wild beaver populations have returned in recent years as part of reintroduction schemes, including releases into monitored enclosures. In North Yorkshire, such a release of Eurasian beavers took place in 2019.

How dispersal and habitat quality shape aquatic–terrestrial metacommunities

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Current changes in land use, predominantly from agriculture and urbanization, affect both habitat quality and species dispersal ability. Understanding how these factors influence species distributions in aquatic–terrestrial metacommunities is critical for predicting community dynamics.

Watershed land cover predicts the abundance of macroplastic and other anthropogenic litter in streams

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Macroplastic and other types of macroscopic anthropogenic litter (AL; trash, particles > 5 mm) are pervasive across ecosystems, persistent in the environment, increasing in abundance, and can degrade into microplastics (particles < 5 mm). Rivers retain and transform AL prior to export downstream, but improved predictions of AL distribution and movement
