Flooding affects fluctuating asymmetry but not growth of a riparian orbweaving spider
Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 547-557, June 2026.In a mesocosm experiment we assessed the impact of flood on aquatic insect emergence and on spider development using geometric morphometric analysis of fluctuating asymmetry. We observed 45% higher emergence in flooded mesocosm throughout the season. Spiders did not grow bigger but exhibited ~15% lower fluctuating asymmetry than in controls.

Cost of parasite exposure depends on host ontogeny 寄生接觸的代價依賴於宿主發育階段
Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 592-603, June 2026.The cost of parasite exposure varies across host developmental stages, demonstrating that ontogeny influences the expression of non‐consumptive effects (NCEs). Mite exposure resulted in consumptive effects in fly eggs and NCEs in early‐stage pupae; mite longevity was comparable when provisioned with pupae or water but increased when provisioned with ...

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019 In Japan, two closely-related damselflies, Mnais costalis Selys, 1869 (Odonata: Calopterygidae) and M. pruinosa Selys-Longchamps (Odonata: Calopterygidae), 1853, coexist, and they exhibit geographic variations in wing color, body size, and habitat ...

Fish and macroinvertebrates in lowland drainage canals with and without grass carp [PDF]
, 2006 Diploid grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella L.) were introduced to a lowland Waikato drainage canal at an initial density of 40-80 kg ha -1(83-167 fish ha -1) to control aquatic macrophytes and improve water flow.

Hypotheses for the Adaptive Maintenance of Phenotypic Polymorphisms
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Phenotypic polymorphisms offer easily observable diversity ideal for empirical and theoretical exploration, but developing and comparing hypotheses for the adaptive maintenance of polymorphism can be a challenge. Here, we propose a framework categorizing polymorphisms based on (i) one of five distinct types of maintenance selection and (ii) the context

Current Protections and Future Threats to Say's Spiketail Habitat in the Southeastern USA
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Dragonflies and damselflies are important indicators of ecological integrity and environmental quality but remain underrepresented in conservation efforts, in part due to a lack of quantitative information regarding their habitat requirements. Species distribution models (SDMs) can facilitate conservation planning by allowing researchers to estimate ...

Finding Isolated Aquatic Habitat: Can Beggars Be Choosers?
DiversityIn a two-year field study across 58 isolated wetlands in Texas (USA), we examined whether odonate (Insecta: Odonata) assemblages were structured by local environmental filters or instead simply reflected the use of any available water in this semi-arid ...

Calopteryx Damselfly Dispersions Arising from Multiscale Responses to Landscape Structure
Ecology and Society, 2000 Using spatially explicit simulation models, we explored the extent to which fine-scale (i.e., meters to tens of meters) movement behaviors could be used to predict broader scale patterns of distribution on heterogeneous landscapes.

Diversity of UV Reflection Patterns in Odonata
Frontiers 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 ...
