Integrating eDNA and community science to monitor urban Odonata diversity

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 84-92, January 2026.
Environmental DNA captured rare and underrepresented taxa often missed by community science observations. Community science revealed adult‐stage observations across a broader temporal window. Integrating both methods improved detection across life stages, seasons, and species prevalence.

Similar Survival Rates of Territorial and Sneaker Males in a Polymorphic Damselfly: A Multi‐Year Study

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
Male Mnais damselflies occur in two genetically controlled morphs: an orange‐winged territorial morph that defends oviposition sites and actively courts females and a co‐occurring clear‐winged sneaker morph that does not defend territories or display, yet mates opportunistically with females.

Fish predation cues induce drifting and emergence in an experimental stream mesocosm system

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue S2, Page S364-S376, December 2025.
Abstract Predator–prey interactions are important drivers of adaptation in aquatic communities, shaping the behavior of invertebrates with cascading effects on community dynamics. Behavioral responses, such as moving with the downstream current (drift) or altering the timing of emergence, are strategies that reduce the risk of predator encounters ...

A molecular phylogeny of Zygopterans (Insecta, Odonata) of Kerala, India [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Insect Biodiversity and Systematics
Molecular phylogenetic reconstruction of the suborder Zygoptera based on sequences of the nuclear ribosomal gene 18S and mitochondrial gene COI was carried out using species collected from India.

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.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Ceriagrion fallax (Odonata: Zygoptera: Coenagrionidae) and phylogenetic analysis

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
Ceriagrion fallax is ubiquitous in south China and is particularly easy be found in some rice fields. In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of C. fallax.

Zygoptera systematics: past, present, and future

open access: yesInsect Systematics and Diversity
Abstract Odonata is a midsized insect order (~6420 species) containing 3 suborders: Anisoptera (dragonflies, 3,120 species), Zygoptera (damselflies, ~3,297 species), and the intermediate Anisozygoptera (~3 species). In this review of the suborder Zygoptera, we provide a brief overview of their biology, ecology, and natural history.

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 ...
