Flight of the dragonflies and damselflies [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2016 This work is a synthesis of our current understanding of the mechanics, aerodynamics and visually mediated control of dragonfly and damselfly flight, with the addition of new experimental and computational data in several key areas. These are: the diversity of dragonfly wing morphologies, the aerodynamics of gliding flight, force generation in flapping

Network unfairness in dragonfly topologies [PDF]
The Journal of Supercomputing, 2016 Dragonfly networks arrange network routers in a two-level hierarchy, providing a competitive cost-performance solution for large systems. Non-minimal adaptive routing (adaptive misrouting) is employed to fully exploit the path diversity and increase the performance under adversarial traffic patterns.

Road Mortality of Dragonflies (Odonata) in a Great Lakes Coastal Wetland [PDF]
, 2018 Although road mortality of vertebrates has been well studied, road mortality of invertebrates has rarely been studied or considered in management scenarios. Mackinac Bay is an extensive coastal wetland in northern Michigan.
