Water availability and land‐use shape the diversity of Odonata in the Middle East

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 621-633, May 2026.
Odonata diversity in the Middle East depends on the availability of long‐lasting waters, emphasizing the importance of preserving stable aquatic habitats for biodiversity conservation under climate change‐driven droughts. Agricultural expansion is associated with increased Odonata species richness, but overall trait diversity remains limited ...

Freshwater habitats within the Natura 2000 network

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 3, April 2026.
Abstract Freshwater biodiversity is experiencing dramatic declines. Despite improvements, the trend remains negative, underlining that effective and coordinated initiatives are needed. Protected areas are considered a global cornerstone of biodiversity conservation, and in Europe, the Natura 2000 network plays a central role in safeguarding ...

Evaluating Conservation Corridor Success for Rare and Common Dragonflies Using Zeta Diversity

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study applied the zeta diversity framework to evaluate how conservation corridors in South African timber plantations impact dragonfly assemblages, finding that corridors function similarly to natural habitats. The research findings showed that dragonfly species richness was higher in corridors than in natural areas, consistently declining with ...

Underwater Hunting in an Arboreal Snake: Predation Notes on Amazonian Frog Larvae

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We report novel underwater hunting behaviour in a canopy‐dwelling species of snake, the Common Green Racer (Chlorosoma viridissimum). The snake is seen diving and foraging in phytotelmata (water‐filled tree holes), feeding on tadpoles of treefrogs (Trachycephalus resinifictrix, T. hadroceps, and Osteocephalus oophagus). These findings contribute to our

High Abundances of Species in Protected Areas in Parts of their Geographic Distributions Colonized during a Recent Period of Climatic Change [PDF]

, 2014
It is uncertain whether Protected Areas (PAs) will conserve high abundances of species as their distributions and abundances shift in response to climate change. We analyzed large datasets for 57 butterfly and 42 odonate species (including four that have

Prey‐Foraging Patterns in a Complex Landscape of Fear

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Prey antipredator defenses may weaken when a predator is cannibalistic or stressed, but it remains unclear which predator prey systems show this effect and how strongly it shapes trophic cascades. In our aquatic food chain (higher order predator, mesopredator, and mesopredator's prey), we found no defense suppression in mesopredators exposed to ...

Impacts of habitat heterogeneity on the provision of multiple ecosystem services in a temperate floodplain [PDF]

, 2018
The relationships between habitat heterogeneity and the provision of multiple ecosystem services are not well understood. This study investigates the impacts of heterogeneity in surface floodwater inundation on the productive efficiency of ecosystem ...
