Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) present an unparalleled insect model to integrate
evolutionary genomics with ecology for the study of insect evolution. Key features of …

An extensive molecular phylogenetic reconstruction of the suborder Z ygoptera of the O
donata is presented, based on mitochondrial (16S, COI) and nuclear (28S) data of 59% of …

The extent to which the sequence and timing of important events on Earth have influenced
biological evolution through geological time is a matter of ongoing debate. In this context …

An updated classification and numbers of described genera and species (until 2010) are
provided up to family level. We argue for conserving the family-group names …

Recent advances in molecular techniques allow us to resolve the diet of unstudied taxa.
Odonates are potentially important top‐down regulators of many insects. Yet, to date, our …

The Odonata are considered among the most endangered freshwater faunal taxa. Their
DNA‐based monitoring relies on validated reference data sets that are often lacking or do …

The insects of the order Odonata have been widely used as bioindicators of environmental
quality in different types of ecological research. In general, the taxonomic level used is the …

Aeshnidae Rambur, 1842 are impressive large insects distributed worldwide. Currently, over
500 species are recognized. Nevertheless, the phylogeny of this family is not completely …

We investigated the effects of contemporary and historical factors on the spatial variation of
European dragonfly diversity. Specifically, we tested to what extent patterns of endemism …

Urbanisation is one of the major drivers of ecosystem change and includes increased
temperatures in cities leading to an urban heat island (UHI). This study quantified the …
