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.

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.

The impacts of habitat disturbance on adult and larval dragonflies (Odonata) in rainforest streams in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo [PDF]
, 2017 $\textbf{1.}$ Dragonfly assemblages (Odonata: comprising damselflies, Zygoptera; and dragonflies, Anisoptera) in Southeast Asian rainforests are extremely diverse but increasingly threatened by habitat disturbance, including logging and conversion of ...

iNaturalist and Structured Mammal Surveys Reflect Similar Species Richness but Capture Different Species Pools Across the United States. [PDF]
Ecol EvoliNaturalist data is widely used in ecology, but is known to contain spatial and taxa‐specific biases. We compared species richness and species pools using data from iNaturalist and structured surveys (i.e., camera traps and acoustic bat surveys) across the United States. We found that iNaturalist and structured surveys generally report similar richness,
