Guild diversity impacts demographic outcomes of novel species interactions following range shifts
This study applies the theory of biotic resistance, a common concept in invasion ecology, to the world of climate driven range shifts, and finds support that biotic resistance may create a life‐stage dependent benefit to resident species, alleviating the competitive impacts of range shifters on native communities.

Introduction of some Odonata species (Insecta) from northern Iran
Odonata are an order belonging to Paleoptera which are divided into three suborders, Anisoptera, Anisozygoptera and Zygoptera. In order to investigate Odonata fauna from Mazandaran province, adult insects were collected from several different natural ...

ABSTRACT Aim Human impacts and climate change are intensifying the fragmentation of freshwater habitats, raising concerns about the ability of aquatic species to disperse between increasingly isolated habitat patches. To explore these dynamics, we used dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata) as a model taxon to examine how two principles of island ...

ABSTRACT Habitat management of small lotic waterbodies is essential to maintain flow and the quality of the habitats. For this purpose, aquatic plants are typically removed by authorities. This is done in a more or less disruptive manner, depending on the risk of interference with the bed.

This meta‐analysis investigates the impact of livestock farming and ranching on the abundance and richness of major aquatic insect orders. Livestock farming significantly reduced the richness of Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera. However, livestock farming did not significantly impact abundance, suggesting finite shifts in aquatic insect ...

In 2001, 80 larvae of Leucorrhinia dubia were translocated from degraded raised bog in Slovakia to the newly created peatbog pools in Czechia, and the population has been regularly monitored. Based on the capture‐mark‐recapture and exuviae surveys in 2015 and 2024, the population size is stable, comprising ca.

Deforestation in the tropics causes shifts in adult odonate community structure, from forests dominated by thermoconforming zygopteran specialists to open areas with higher representations of heliothermic anisopterans.

We provide a first test whether female colour variation in common blue butterflies (a) has arisen through cross‐sexual transfer. Analyses of museum specimens (b) show that the distribution of females wing colour varies in a geographic mosaic pattern, and laboratory experiments (c) show that this variation is both genetically determined and impacted by ...

Effect of salinity gradients on species composition of Odonata naiads [PDF]
In present study the relationship between salinity gradients of various water bodies and inhabiting Odonata naiads was studied. Naiads, being a popular group of water pollution indicators, were studied.
