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.

Fossil gaps inferred from phylogenies alter the apparent nature of diversification in dragonflies and their relatives [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background The fossil record has suggested that clade growth may differ in marine and terrestrial taxa, supporting equilibrial models in the former and expansionist models in the latter. However, incomplete sampling may bias findings based on fossil data

Assessing predation pressure of Vespa velutina on local fauna through DNA metabarcoding

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, Volume 326, Issue 4, Page 329-338, August 2025.
This study investigates the predation pressure exerted by the invasive yellow‐legged hornet (Vespa velutina) on native insect populations in Mallorca, using DNA metabarcoding to analyze their diet. Results reveal a diverse prey spectrum, including key insect groups such as Apidae (bees), Calliphoridae (blowflies), and Vespidae (wasps), with no ...

The potential contribution of flood management ponds to pondscape biodiversity: Evidence from dragonflies

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 3, July–September 2025.
The creation of ponds to alleviate the impacts of floods has the potential to support freshwater biodiversity. Our study investigates the ecological value of ponds created for Natural Flood Management as part of the Eddleston Water Project, in the Scottish Borders (UK).

Effects of the pyrethroid insecticide gamma-cyhalothrin on aquatic invertebrates in laboratory and outdoor microcosm tests [PDF]

open access: yes
The sensitivity of a range of freshwater lentic invertebrates to gamma-cyhalothrin (GCH), a single enantiomer of the synthetic pyrethroid lambda-cyhalothrin, was assessed in single species laboratory tests and an outdoor multi-species ecosystem test. The

Scientists' warning on the need for greater inclusion of dragonflies in global conservation

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 4, Page 465-484, July 2025.
Stressors to dragonflies are multiple, and in many cases interactive. Specialist species are at risk, while generalists can benefit from some human activities. Dragonflies are sentinels for conservation, being promising surrogates for other taxa while also being appealing to citizen science initiatives.
