Evaluating Conservation Corridor Success for Rare and Common Dragonflies Using Zeta Diversity. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis 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 ...

Unexpected Evolutionary Divergence of Tachykinin-Positive Neurons Innervating the Central Complex in Hexapods. [PDF]
J Comp NeurolThe central complex is a group of midline‐spanning neuropils in the brain of insects with a key role in goal‐directed orientation and navigation. Immunolabeling in 25 species, ranging from bristletails to flies, shows that neurons containing peptides of the tachykinin family of neuropeptides are present in most species studied.

Thorax temperature and niche characteristics as predictors of abundance of Amazonian Odonata. [PDF]
PLoS ONEEnvironmental architecture and body temperature drive the distribution of ectothermic species, especially those with specific ecophysiological requirements or narrow ecological niches. In this study, we evaluated the connection between thorax temperature

Ecological and faunal analysis of dragonflies (Odonata) of suborders Zygoptera, Caloptera in Republic of Ingushetia [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2021 In this work, we adhere to the systematics proposed by the school of odonatologists B.F.Belyshev, that is, the order is subdivided into three suborders: Anizoptera, Zygoptera and Caloptera.

A checklist of chromosome numbers and a review of karyotype variation in Odonata of the world [PDF]
Comparative Cytogenetics, 2020 The ancient insect order Odonata is divided into three suborders: Anisoptera and Zygoptera with approximately 3000 species worldwide each, and Anisozygoptera with only four extant species in the relict family Epiophlebiidae.

Metacommunity patterns of Amazonian Odonata: the role of environmental gradients and major rivers [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Background We identified and classified damselfly (Zygoptera) and dragonfly (Anisoptera) metacommunities in Brazilian Amazonia, relating species distribution patterns to known biological gradients and biogeographical history.
