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.

Diversity of the Anisoptera & Zygoptera (Odonata: Insecta) of Swat, Pakistan [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2023 Abstract Odonates are important biological control agents for the control of insect pests and insect disease vectors of medical and veterinary importance. The present study was conducted to evaluate the odonate fauna of Swat, Pakistan from March to October 2019. A total of 200 specimens of odonates were collected from diverse habitats.

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.

The odonatan insects from the Paleocene of Menat, central France [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2022 The current knowledge on the Paleocene Odonata is rather limited despite the fact that it is a crucial period for the history of this order. An overview of the fossil odonatans from the Paleocene of Menat (France) is provided.

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.
