Does the habitat structure control the distribution and diversity of the Odonatofauna?
Brazilian Journal of BiologyThe statement that the habitat complexity and structure govern the abundance and diversity of biological communities has been widely investigated. In this context, we assumed the hypothesis of habitat heterogeneity, that is, the higher habitat complexity

Raman Signature of the Wings of the Globe Skimmer Dragonfly: Pantala flavescens
Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.Raman spectroscopy is used to confirm the presence of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and related derivatives including aldehydes, halides, alcohols, acids, esters, and phenols on the wings of Pantala flavescens. The analysis indicates that wing‐surface lipid composition is largely consistent across the three main ecological zones in Ghana. Notably,

Wing wettability gradient in a damselfly Lestes sponsa (Odonata: Lestidae) reflects the submergence behaviour during underwater oviposition [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 The phenomenon of hydrophobicity of insect cuticles has received great attention from technical fields due to its wide applicability to industry or medicine. However, in an ecological/evolutionary context such studies remain scarce.

Nutritional effects on the expression of cryptic pigmentation in freshwater isopods
Oikos, EarlyView.Cryptic pigmentation is a key phenotypic adaptation that helps many benthic invertebrates evade visual predators. However, little is known about whether and how the expression of pigmentation phenotypes that match the habitat background is influenced by the availability of nutritional resources.

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 ...
