Biogeographic regionalization of Odonata (Insecta) in the Neotropics: contrasting Anisoptera and Zygoptera spatial patterns [PDF]
Frontiers of BiogeographyThe Neotropical region stands as a significant hotspot for Odonata diversity, yet comprehensive spatial patterns have remained less elucidated. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive biogeographical regionalization of the order Odonata across the ...

Nuevos Zygoptera y Anisoptera (Insecta: Odonata) en el Cretácico inferior de España
Estudios Geologicos, 1993 El estudio de nuevos insectos cretácicos hallados en los yacimientos de calizas litográficas españoles ha dado como resultado el reconocimiento de tres nuevas formas de odonatos (Insecta, Odonata).

Setting boundaries: Environmental and spatial effects on Odonata larvae distribution (Insecta)
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2015 Environmental characteristics and spatial distances between sites have been used to explain species distribution in the environment, through Neutral (space) and Niche theory (environment) predictions. We evaluated the effects of spatial and environmental

The development of sexual differences in body size in Odonata in relation to mating systems
European Journal of Entomology, 2007 Adult body size is the result of important environmental, maternal and/or genetic effects acting on animals during development. Here we investigate how sexual size dimorphism (SSD) develops in seven species of Odonata: Anax imperator, Cordulegaster ...

Material composition of the mouthpart cuticle in a damselfly larva (Insecta: Odonata) and its biomechanical significance [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Odonata larvae are key predators in their habitats. They catch prey with a unique and highly efficient apparatus, the prehensile mask. The mandibles and maxillae, however, play the lead in handling and crushing the food.

Odonata (Insecta) Communities in a Lowland Mixed Mosaic Forest in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia
Ecologies, 2023 Assessing a taxon’s response to change in environmental variables is fundamental knowledge to understanding trends in species diversity, abundance, and distribution patterns.

Insects, 2019 The evaluation of the effects of environmental factors on natural communities has been one of the principal approaches in ecology; although, over the past decade, increasing importance has been given to spatial factors.

European Journal of Entomology, 2012 In macrophyte-rich lentic ecosystems, higher numbers of damselfly larvae occur in areas where there is structurally complex vegetation than in those where the plant architecture is relatively simple.

Diversity, 2022 Understanding how changes in species richness pattern correlate with range changes in different taxonomic and biogeographic groups is important for conservation because it allows for generalizations about which species are at greatest risk.
