Metacommunity patterns in larval odonates
The growth of metacommunity ecology as a subdiscipline has increased interest in how processes at different spatial scales structure communities. However, there is still a significant knowledge gap with respect to relating the action of niche- and dispersal-assembly mechanisms to observed species distributions across gradients.

Visual Recognition of Females by Male \u3ci\u3eCalopteryx Maculata\u3c/i\u3e (Odonata: Calopterygidae) [PDF]
In order to determine the function of the white wing stigma in Calopteryx mandata, males and females were marked or left unaltered, pinned onto a stick and presented to free ranging males.

The ancestor of today's pinapinao, Hawaiian Megalagrion damselflies, diverged from Ischnurinae around 51 MA and likely evolved for over 20 MA before colonizing the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. An ancestor of Megalagrion colonized the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and diversified into ecological niches with four new breeding habitats and two new gill ...

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

\u3ci\u3eAeshna Subarctica\u3c/i\u3e (Odonata: Aeshnidae) in Northwestern Wisconsin [PDF]
Nine adult specimens of Aeshna subarctica, a boreal dragonfly typically associated with muskeg wetlands, were collected from Black Lake and Breitzman Lake in northwestern Wisconsin (Douglas County).

Removing invasive stream macrofauna shifts nontarget invertebrate mesofauna through facilitation
Abstract Positive interactions among non‐native species can drive invasional meltdowns to the detriment of native biota. Here, we assessed whether targeted control of aquatic invasive species (AIS) can benefit native species by eliminating synergies among invaders.

Forested catchments significantly increase the likelihood of occurrence. Prolonged flow intermittency undermines this potential, even in otherwise suitable landscapes. Conservation strategies must address both land use and hydrological conditions to support the presence of C. heros in drying river networks.

Garden Ponds: Hidden Sources for Plant Invasions?
ABSTRACT Private garden ponds are increasingly popular among homeowners and can, to some extent, compensate for the loss of natural habitats, but they may be sources of invasive species as pond owners often introduce alien ornamental species. We assessed the popularity, distribution and sources of six invasive macrophyte taxa (Elodea spp., Eichhornia ...
