Guild diversity impacts demographic outcomes of novel species interactions following range shifts

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 10, Page 2062-2078, October 2025.
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

open access: yesتاکسونومی و بیوسیستماتیک, 2014
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 ...

Local Habitat Features, but Not Isolation, Shape Alpine Odonate Assemblages: Implications for Modelling and Conservation

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 10, October 2025.
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 ...

Impacts of Habitat Management on Larvae of the Damselfly Coenagrion mercuriale (Coenagrionidae, Odonata)—A Laboratory Study

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, Volume 41, Issue 7, Page 1558-1566, September 2025.
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.

Differing Impacts of Livestock Farming and Ranching on Aquatic Insect Biodiversity: A Global Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 9, September 2025.
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 ...

Small whiteface (Leucorrhinia dubia: Odonata) reintroduction update highlights the importance of long‐term monitoring and regular habitat management

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 5, Page 859-868, September 2025.
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.

The Effects of Light Environment on Adult Odonate Communities in Disturbed and Intact Forest: The Importance of Small-Scale Effects

open access: yesDiversity
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.

Thermal Plasticity in a Cross‐Sexual Transfer Trait: Geographic Variation and Phenotypic Integration of Blue Wing Colour in Female Butterflies

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 8, August 2025.
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]

open access: yesArthropods, 2018
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.
