Climate warming is considered to be among the most serious of anthropogenic stresses to
the environment, because it not only has direct effects on biodiversity, but it also exacerbates …

Insects of the order Odonata have been used as indicators of environmental quality in
different aquatic systems around the world. In this context, we conducted a bibliometric …

Dragonflies and damselflies are a charismatic, medium-sized insect order (~ 6300 species)

The toxicological safety of products developed as alternative for conventional plastics (ie,
petroleum derivatives) inevitably demands conducting (eco) toxicological studies. Thus, the …

Insect distributions are shifting rapidly in response to climate change and are undergoing
rapid evolutionary change. We investigate the molecular signatures underlying local …

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 …

Introgression is an important biological process affecting at least 10% of the extant species
in the animal kingdom. Introgression significantly impacts inference of phylogenetic species …

The Odonata are considered among the most endangered freshwater faunal taxa. Their
