Additions to the Odonata (Insecta) of Goa

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2010
The study reports the results from surveys for Odonates in the State of Goa over 19 months during 2007-2008. A total of 66 species of Odonates were documented with 34 new species records from the State.

Phylogenetically‐Informed Crayfish Conservation in the Face of Climate Change

Animal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 274-284, June 2026.
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 ...

A preliminary investigation on wing morphology, flight patterns, and flight heights of selected odonates

Journal of Threatened Taxa
Wing shape and its individual structural components are a major contributor to the flight performance of odonates. Two essential components of wing structure are the nodus and the pterostigma.

Urbanisation Restructures but Does Not Reduce Freshwater Pond Biodiversity

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Urbanisation is a dominant driver of landscape change leading to widespread displacement, degradation and fragmentation of habitat for native species and numerous studies have documented loss of biodiversity in response. However, most studies focus on a small range of taxa (e.g., vertebrates, plants), leaving many other groups poorly ...

The Recovery of Predators Modulates Prey Community Organization Through Concomitant Changes in Aquatic Trophic Networks

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Restoring predator populations can generate cascading effects on their prey by reshaping ecosystem food webs, yet its consequences for prey community organization and multi‐trophic dynamics remain poorly understood. We aimed to evaluate how native predator recovery shapes prey biodiversity, assembly processes, and trophic dependencies, and

From Lineage Discovery to Conservation Prioritisation: An Integrative Genomic Framework Applied to a Model Damselfly System

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 11, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Accurate inferences of diversification and evolutionary processes depend on knowing how many independently evolving lineages exist within nominally widespread taxa. Uncertainty in lineage number and composition also limits our ability to meaningfully prioritise conservation efforts.

Fianlimab, a human lymphocyte activation gene‐3 monoclonal antibody, in combination with cemiplimab: Tumor‐specific expansion cohorts in advanced malignancies

Cancer, Volume 132, Issue 9, 1 May 2026.
Abstract Background The dose escalation phase of a first‐in‐human (FIH) study demonstrated acceptable safety and preliminary antitumor activity of fianlimab (anti‐lymphocyte activation gene‐3 [LAG‐3]) as monotherapy and in combination with cemiplimab (anti‐programmed cell death‐1 [PD‐1]). Here, the authors present safety and clinical activity data from

Colonization and extinction mediate environmental effects on the phylogenetic diversity of invertebrate communities

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Phylogeny offers a powerful framework for understanding mechanisms driving community assembly. Yet, most empirical studies in community phylogenetics rely on observational approaches. In this study, we explore how two important drivers of community assembly—habitat size and predator presence—shape species richness and phylogenetic relatedness ...

So close, but yet so far: Assessing the community structure of Odonates in two adjacent rivers within different watersheds in Souk Ahras, North East of Algeria [PDF]

Journal of Insect Biodiversity and Systematics
Lotic systems are rapidly changing due to anthropogenic impacts, making it crucial to note the diversity and abundance of Odonates for effective conservation of these running waters.

Macroevolution of Steep Interspecific Metabolic Allometry in an Old Insect Order

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.
We investigated the macroevolution of metabolic allometry in an old insect order (Odonata: dragonflies and damselflies) to test the hypothesis that metabolic scaling exponents reflect evolutionary constraints and a general slope of 0.75 on a log–log scale.
