Field estimates of reproductive success in a model insect: behavioural surrogates are poor predictors of fitness [PDF]

, 2011
Understanding, and therefore measuring, factors that determine fitness is a central problem in evolutionary biology. We studied a natural population of Coenagrion puella (Odonata: Zygoptera) over two entire breeding seasons, with over a thousand ...

Conservation implications of shifting habitat use in migrating insects: Selection patterns in a threatened damselfly show that season‐specific actions are needed

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Well‐preserved heathlands of NW Italy are the main overwintering habitat of Sympecma paedisca, while grassy margins in farmland are used only in summer and are avoided from autumn onwards. Grassy margins in farmland act as corridors during the species' migrations between its breeding (ricefields) and overwintering (lowland heathlands) grounds ...

An annotated checklist of Odonata (Insecta) of Kanha Tiger Reserve and adjoining areas, central India

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2013
Odonates were recorded from Kanha Tiger Reserve and its adjoining areas during January-December 2010. Thirty eight species were recorded belonging to seven families and 26 genera. Twelve species distribution is first time recorded from the reserve.

Higher gregarine parasitism often in sibling species of host damselflies with smaller geographical distributions [PDF]

, 2012
1. This study investigated inter-specific variation in parasitism by gregarines (Eugregarinorida: Actinocephalidae), among sibling species of damselflies (Odonata: Zygoptera), in relation to relative size of geographical ranges of host species.

Vegetation trajectories over 150 years of temporary ponds created in the Camargue delta (Southern France)

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Temporary ponds in the Mediterranean climate have a high conservation value, but many have been severely destroyed or degraded. Pond restoration and new pond creation have been engaged widely. Evaluations of the success of such operations are generally carried out over 10–15 years and show divergent results over this timeframe. In

Forecasting Divergence: Climate-Driven Habitat Shifts in North American Odonates Depend on Functional Groups

Conservation
Climate change is expected to have significant yet distinct impacts on arthropods. Studying the species distribution of odonates, which are considered a model taxon for studying climate change and a flagship group for assessing ecosystem health, can ...

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological
