Response : Dragonfly Aerodynamics
Science, 1986The aerodynamics of dragonflies, discussed by C. Somps and M. Luttges (14 June, p. 1326), present an intriguing problem. I share the author's conviction that an understanding of unsteady aerodynamics is essential for an understanding of insect flight. I also agree that dragonflies may use nonconventional mechanisms for producing lift.

Complementarity among dragonflies across a pondscape in a rural landscape mosaic
Insect Conservation and Diversity, 2019Networks of ponds (pondscapes) are becoming increasingly significant for resilient landscape planning in rural areas. Farmland and forestry ponds are habitat islands that support heterogeneous communities of aquatic organisms. Species richness, Dragonfly

Dragonflies and Damselflies are collectively known as the Odonata. These often large and beautifully-colored insects spend much of their time on the wing, capturing other insects, especially small flies, for food.

Survey of Dragonflies (Odonata) in Palm Swamps of Cerrado Hotspot
Entomological news, 2018: The palm swamps (i.e. Veredas) in the Cerrado, Brazilian Savanna, are priority areas for conservation. The Veredas' hydrological characteristics are fundamental for the maintenance of biodiversity and economic activities in this region.

Dragonflies and Damselflies – Odonata
2013Dragonflies and damselflies comprise one of the eldest orders of insects; moreover, their appearance remained almost unaltered for as many as 150 million years. They have about 5,000 species inhabiting the terrestrial habitats all over the world except for the arctic regions.
