Plant structural complexity and mechanical defenses mediate predator-prey interactions in an odonate-bird system. [PDF]

, 2017
Habitat-forming species provide refuges for a variety of associating species; these refuges may mediate interactions between species differently depending on the functional traits of the habitat-forming species.

New records of dragonflies and damselflies (Insecta: Odonata) from the Western Ghats of Maharashtra, India

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2014
Odonates were surveyed across 10 localities from Western Ghats of Maharashtra State, India during 2011-2013. We recorded 64 species belonging to 40 genera and 12 families. Seven species are new records for the region, and four out of them are new records

Phylogenetically‐Informed Crayfish Conservation in the Face of Climate Change

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Crayfish are a vital part of freshwater ecosystems, yet one third of assessed species are threatened with extinction, and almost 90% are highly sensitive to climate change. In this study, we produced a phylogenetically‐informed species prioritisation for crayfish conservation and explored the impacts of projected climate change scenarios on crayfish ...

Historical changes in the phenology of British Odonata are related to climate [PDF]

, 2007
Responses of biota to climate change take a number of forms including distributional shifts, behavioural changes and life history changes. This study examined an extensive set of biological records to investigate changes in the timing of life history ...

Environmental Stress Drives Plasticity in Sexual Bimaturism in the Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens Linnaeus, 1758)

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We measured the plasticity in sexual bimaturism (SBM; differences between sexes in the timing of sexual maturity) in the black soldier fly (BSF) by exposing larvae to nutrient availability and humidity stress. Our results show that SBM can range between protandry and protogyny depending on the environmental quality. Additionally, we found the degree of

Using Eye Lens Stable Isotopes to Identify the Rearing Origin of Fall Age‐0 Walleye (Sander vitreus)

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Isotope values in fish eye lenses may be useful in differentiating rearing origins. We compared eye lens isotopic values of fall fingerling age‐0 walleye (Sander vitreus) reared in a hatchery pond, a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS), and a natural lake. Using 10 fish per rearing source, we delaminated layers from one eye lens per fish to

The first record of parasitism by Forcipomyia (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in Cuban odonates

Novitates Caribaea, 2019
Several species of biting midges of the genus Forcipomyia are frequently found attached to the wings of adult odonates, acting as parasites by sucking haemolymph from the wing veins. Here we report the first finding of F.

Diversity of Odonates (Odonata, Anisoptera & Zygoptera) in the Theniet El ‎Had National Park-North West of Algeria [PDF]

Journal of Insect Biodiversity and Systematics, 2023
The aim of this study is to make an inventory of the fauna of the Odonata in Theniet El Had National Park, which helps managers to make appropriate decisions for the conservation of these species. The site is entirely forested (Cedrus and Quercus species)

Biogeography of Endemic Dragonflies of the Ozark-Ouachita Interior Highlands [PDF]

, 2019
A common pattern across many taxonomic groups is that relatively few species are widespread while the majority are restricted in their geographic ranges. Such species distributions are used to inform conservation status, which poses unique challenges for
