Dispersal represents a key life-history trait with several implications for the fitness of
organisms, population dynamics and resilience, local adaptation, meta-population …

The academic study of dragonflies and damselflies (odonatology) is well established, but
relatively limited attention has been given to odonates in the context of applied ecology and …

Urbanization significantly alters hydrological regimes in cities by reducing infiltration rates
and increasing runoff. Stormwater ponds have been constructed in North American cities to …

As cities expand, urban ecosystems could either contribute to or impede conservation
efforts. To maximize the potential for urban areas to support biodiversity, there is a need to …

Habitat loss and fragmentation causes a decline in insect populations. Odonata (both
dragonflies and damselflies) are especially threatened by the destruction of both aquatic …

Timber harvest is a prevailing economic activity in Amazonia, which contributes to forest
degradation and biodiversity loss. However, Reduced-impact logging has been used to …

Understanding the role of abiotic and biotic factors on biological communities is a challenge
for ecologists. Individuals of the order Odonata have a close connection with these factors …

Cities are increasingly using constructed ponds to mitigate flooding and downstream water
pollution from urban runoff. As a result, these stormwater ponds can have poor water quality …

Stormwater management ponds, which are constructed to retain excess runoff and
pollutants from traffic, play an important role in the freshwater biodiversity in highly modified …

Simple Summary In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between human
transformations of land use/land cover and adult dragonfly diversity. Based on previous …
