Effect of the spatial heterogeneity on the predation of Scinax fuscovarius and Physalaemus cuvieri tadpoles by Odonata larvae = Efeito da heterogeneidade ambiental na predação de girinos de Scinax fuscovarius e Physalaemus cuvieri por larvas de Odonata

open access: yesActa Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2010
The objective of this work were to analyze the effect of predation byOdonata naiads on two amphibian species with distinct habits – benthic and mid-water – and to verify whether the presence and architecture of macrophytes can mediate this interaction ...

Variation in the shape of the wings and taxonomy of Eurasian populations of the Calopteryx splendens complex (Odonata: Calopterygidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2014
We used geometric morphometrics to determine variation in the morphology of the forewings of individuals in 20 populations of Calopteryx splendens s.l. in Eurasia and related these to the circum-specific taxonomy of this taxon.
