Taxonomic and functional Odonata assemblage metrics: macrophyte–driven changes in anthropogenically disturbed floodplain habitats
Floodplains are heterogeneous systems adjacent to large rivers periodically flooded by water originating from the river’s lateral flow. During...

Variations in the Odonata Assemblages: How Do the Dry Season and Water Bodies Influence Them?
Diverse abiotic and biotic factors drive the ecological variation of communities across spatial and temporal dimensions. Within the Amazonian...

New Data on the Fauna of Dragonflies and Damselflies (Insecta, Odonata) of Southeastern Belarus
AbstractEcological and faunistic studies into members of the order Odonata in southeastern Belarus have been carried out. New data for 38 odonata...

Forest expansion affects Odonata assemblage in floodplain: a case study in the Kiso River, central Japan
In floodplains, which are highly modified and less inundated, trees are expanding, thus raising concerns regarding their impact on freshwater...

Distribution of the Odonata assemblages along an environmental gradient in the streams of the legal Amazonia region in western Maranhão (Brazil)
Understanding the distribution patterns of biodiversity is a pivotal challenge in ecology, exacerbated by the escalating frequency of anthropogenic...

Ecological thresholds of Odonata larvae to anthropogenic disturbances in neotropical savanna headwater streams
We evaluated whether ecological thresholds could be detected along gradients of disturbances by using larval Odonata genera. Morphological,...

Climate change will redefine taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity of Odonata in space and time
Climate change is rearranging the mosaic of biodiversity worldwide. These broad-scale species re-distributions affect the structure and composition...

Connectivity of stormwater ponds impacts Odonata abundance and species richness
ContextThe successful dispersal of an animal depends, partly, on landscape connectivity. Urbanization poses risks to dispersal activities by...

Can botanic gardens serve as refuges for taxonomic and functional diversity of Odonata? The case of the botanic garden of Castilla–La Mancha (Spain)
In a scenario with declining biodiversity and habitat loss, botanic gardens could serve as refuges for invertebrates, but the opportunities they...
