  • The Damselfly and Dragonfly Watercolour Collection of Edmond
    International Journal of Odonatology, 2017 Vol. 20, No. 2, 79–112, https://doi.org/10.1080/13887890.2017.1330226 The damselfly and dragonfly watercolour collection of Edmond de Selys Longchamps: II Calopterygines, Cordulines, Gomphines and Aeschnines Karin Verspuia∗ and Marcel Th. Wasscherb aLingedijk 104, Tricht, the Netherlands; bMinstraat 15bis, Utrecht, the Netherlands (Received 3 March 2017; final version received 10 May 2017) In the nineteenth century Edmond de Selys Longchamps added watercolours, drawings and notes to his extensive collection of dragonfly and damselfly specimens. The majority of illustrations were exe- cuted by Selys and Guillaume Severin. The watercolour collection is currently part of the collection of the Royal Belgian Institute for Natural Sciences in Brussels. This previously unpublished material has now been scanned and is accessible on the website of this institute. This article presents the part of the collection concerning the following sous-familles according to Selys: Calopterygines (currently superfamilies Calopterygoidea and Epiophlebioidea), Cordulines (currently superfamily Libelluloidea), Gomphines (currently superfamily Petaluroidea, Gomphoidea, Cordulegastroidea and Aeshnoidea) and Aeschnines (currently superfamily Aeshnoidea). This part consists of 750 watercolours, 64 drawings and 285 text sheets. Characteristics and subject matter of the sheets with illustrations and text are pre- sented. The majority (92%) of all sheets with illustrations have been associated with current species names (Calopteryines 268, Cordulines 109, Gomphines 268 and Aeschnines 111). We hope the digital images and documentation stress the value of the watercolour collection of Selys and promote it as a source for odonate research. Keywords: Odonata; taxonomy; Severin; Zygoptera; Anisozygoptera; Anisoptera; watercolours; draw- ings; aquarelles Introduction The watercolour collection of Selys Edmond Michel de Selys Longchamps (1813–1900) did important work in odonate classifi- cation and taxonomy (Wasscher & Dumont, 2013; Verspui & Wasscher, 2016).

  • At the Kafa Biosphere Reserve, Ethiopia
    NABU’s Biodiversity Assessment at the Kafa Biosphere Reserve, Ethiopia Dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata) at the Kafa Biosphere Reserve Viola Clausnitzer 160 DRAGONFLIES Highlights ´ A total of 33 Odonata (=dragonflies and damselflies, hereafter referred to as “dragonflies”) species from seven families were recorded (31.1% of Ethiopia’s dragonfly fauna and 65% of dragonfly fauna ever recorded in the Kafa BR). ´ A total of 51 dragonfly species from nine families has ever been recorded in the Kafa BR. ´ Three species are new to Ethiopia (Aciagrion gracile, Tetrathemis polleni, Phyllomacromia spec.). ´ Twelve species were recorded the first time for the Kafa BR, including the endemic and endangered Notogomphus ruppeli. ´ Eight of the recorded species are endemic to the Ethiopian highlands (Pseudagrion guichardi, P. kaffinum, Notogomphus cottarellii, N. ruppeli, Atoconeura aethiopica, Orthetrum kristenseni, Palpopleura jucunda radiata, Trithemis ellenbeckii). ´ Five species are threatened according to the global IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (three ‘vulnerable’, two ‘endangered’), all of them endemic to Ethiopia. ´ Endemic species were only found in montane and submontane forest streams. ´ The lower areas (wetlands) exhibit higher diversity, but no endemic species. ´ The Ethiopian Highlander (Atoconeura aethiopica), the Ethiopian Sprite (Pseudagrion guichardi) and the Kaffa Sprite Pseudagrion( kaffinum) are flagship species. ´ In addition to these flagship species, the montane forest gomphids Cottarelli’s Longlegs (Notogomphus cottarellii) and Rüpell’s Longlegs (Notogomphus ruppeli) could be good indicators of the status of conservation of the forests. ´ These findings show the great significance of the natural habitats within the Kafa BR for maintaining Ethiopia’s diversity and high level of endemism and the importance of conserving the remaining natural and semi-natural sites.

  • Dragonflies As Bioindicators and Biodiversity Surrogates for Freshwater Ecosystems
    Dragonflies as bioindicators and biodiversity surrogates for freshwater ecosystems Gabriella Joy Kietzka Dissertation presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Conservation Ecology) at Stellenbosch University Department of Conservation Ecology and Entomology, Faculty of AgriSciences Supervisor: Prof. James S. Pryke Co-supervisor: Prof. Michael J. Samways Co-supervisor: Dr. René Gaigher December 2019 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights, and that I have not previously in its entirety, or in part, submitted it for obtaining any qualification. December 2019 Copyright © 2019 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved 2 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za General summary Biological indicators (bioindicators) are useful for rapid and cost-effective ecosystem assessments. Dragonflies are valued for their potential as bioindicators in freshwater ecosystems. My dissertation aims to assess and expand on their use as bioindicators in transformed landscapes and as surrogates for other aquatic biodiversity. Of the three bioindicator categories (environmental, ecological and biodiversity), biodiversity indicators and their application are poorly understood. The umbrella species concept is a biodiversity surrogacy method that aims to conserve a large number of species in an ecosystem by focusing on a select group of co-occurring species. I used the umbrella index, which quantitatively identified a group of seven dragonfly species and a group of eight Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera (EPT) species, any of which could be used as biodiversity surrogates (Chapter 2).

    SURICATA 2 Manual of Freshwater Assessment for South Africa: Dragonfly Biotic Index Michael J. Samways & John P. Simaika Pretoria 2016 SURICATA Suricata is the genus name of the suricate (meerkat), which is near-endemic to the arid western parts of southern Africa (occurring in Namibia, South Africa and Botswana; and just entering into a very small area in the extreme south of An- gola). Behaviourally, suricates are socially inclusive and innately inquisitive, symbolising the commitment of the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) to include all biodiversity and serve all of Africa, and the scientific curi- osity that precedes and drives research and publication of research results. Sister journal to SANBI’s Strelitizia, Suricata is a peer-reviewed journal and publishes original and applied research such as monographs, revisions, checklists, Red Lists, Atlases and Faunas of any taxa belonging to Regnum Animalia (the Animal Kingdom).

  • The Natural Drivers and the Effects of Landscape Transformation for Dragonflies of the Cape Floristic Region
    The natural drivers and the effects of landscape transformation for dragonflies of the Cape Floristic Region by Gabriella Joy Kietzka Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (Conservation Ecology) in the Faculty of AgriSciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisors: Dr. James S.

March 2016 Copyright © 2016 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved 2 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za General summary The Cape Floristic Region (CFR) is a biodiversity hotspot. The region has three established biosphere reserves, which all aim to alleviate the impacts that land transformation has on ecosystem integrity, without jeopardizing basic human needs. In addition to its unique plant diversity, the CFR has high endemism levels of other taxa, including dragonflies. Dragonflies are useful bioindicators of freshwater quality, which has led to the development of the Dragonfly Biotic Index (DBI), a biomonitoring tool for freshwater. The combined pressures of urbanisation and agricultural expansion in the CFR are a major concern for rare, endemic dragonfly species, as well as for overall river ecosystem integrity.
