Cumulative Index of ARGIA and Bulletin of American Odonatology Cumulative Index of ARGIA and Bulletin of American Odonatology Compiled by Jim Johnson PDF available at http://odonata.bogfoot.net/docs/Argia-BAO_Cumulative_Index.pdf Last updated: 14 February 2021 Below are titles from all issues of ARGIA and Bulletin of American Odonatology (BAO) published to date by the Dragonfly Society of the Americas. The purpose of this listing is to facilitate the searching of authors and title keywords across all issues in both journals, and to make browsing of the titles more convenient. PDFs of ARGIA and BAO can be downloaded from https://www.dragonflysocietyamericas.org/en/publications. The most recent three years of issues for both publications are only available to current members of the Dragonfly Society of the Americas.

  • About the Book the Format Acknowledgments
    About the Book For more than ten years I have been working on a book on bryophyte ecology and was joined by Heinjo During, who has been very helpful in critiquing multiple versions of the chapters. But as the book progressed, the field of bryophyte ecology progressed faster. No chapter ever seemed to stay finished, hence the decision to publish online. Furthermore, rather than being a textbook, it is evolving into an encyclopedia that would be at least three volumes. Having reached the age when I could retire whenever I wanted to, I no longer needed be so concerned with the publish or perish paradigm. In keeping with the sharing nature of bryologists, and the need to educate the non-bryologists about the nature and role of bryophytes in the ecosystem, it seemed my personal goals could best be accomplished by publishing online. This has several advantages for me. I can choose the format I want, I can include lots of color images, and I can post chapters or parts of chapters as I complete them and update later if I find it important. Throughout the book I have posed questions. I have even attempt to offer hypotheses for many of these. It is my hope that these questions and hypotheses will inspire students of all ages to attempt to answer these. Some are simple and could even be done by elementary school children. Others are suitable for undergraduate projects. And some will take lifelong work or a large team of researchers around the world. Have fun with them! The Format The decision to publish Bryophyte Ecology as an ebook occurred after I had a publisher, and I am sure I have not thought of all the complexities of publishing as I complete things, rather than in the order of the planned organization.

  • 2010 Animal Species of Concern
    MONTANA NATURAL HERITAGE PROGRAM Animal Species of Concern Species List Last Updated 08/05/2010 219 Species of Concern 86 Potential Species of Concern All Records (no filtering) A program of the University of Montana and Natural Resource Information Systems, Montana State Library Introduction The Montana Natural Heritage Program (MTNHP) serves as the state's information source for animals, plants, and plant communities with a focus on species and communities that are rare, threatened, and/or have declining trends and as a result are at risk or potentially at risk of extirpation in Montana. This report on Montana Animal Species of Concern is produced jointly by the Montana Natural Heritage Program (MTNHP) and Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks (MFWP). Montana Animal Species of Concern are native Montana animals that are considered to be "at risk" due to declining population trends, threats to their habitats, and/or restricted distribution. Also included in this report are Potential Animal Species of Concern -- animals for which current, often limited, information suggests potential vulnerability or for which additional data are needed before an accurate status assessment can be made. Over the last 200 years, 5 species with historic breeding ranges in Montana have been extirpated from the state; Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus), Greater Prairie-Chicken (Tympanuchus cupido), Passenger Pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius), Pilose Crayfish (Pacifastacus gambelii), and Rocky Mountain Locust (Melanoplus spretus). Designation as a Montana Animal Species of Concern or Potential Animal Species of Concern is not a statutory or regulatory classification. Instead, these designations provide a basis for resource managers and decision-makers to make proactive decisions regarding species conservation and data collection priorities in order to avoid additional extirpations.

Odonata, Aeshnidae, Anax imperator, body length, body mass, larval rearing, sexual size dimorphism, traits Abstract. Insect larval development affects adult traits but the biometric relationships are usually poorly understood, including large odonates. In this study, measurements of morphological traits of larvae, exuviae and adults of Anax imperator were recorded. They were used to investigate the effects of early development on adult morphology. Results showed an increase in larval length during the fi nal instar and the length of its exuviae signifi cantly exceeded that of the larva. Length and body mass of teneral adults were strongly related to the length of their exuviae. Adult males were signifi cantly longer than adult females, while both had the same body mass at emergence. Length of teneral adults was negatively related to the date of emergence in both sexes. During maturation, body mass of males only increased slightly whereas that of females increased greatly. Mature specimens were also signifi cantly longer than teneral individuals.

    AQUATIC AND TERRESTRIAL VEGETATION INFLUENCE LACUSTRINE DRAGONFLY (ORDER ODONATA) ASSEMBLAGES AT MULTIPLE LIFE STAGES By Alysa J. Remsburg A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Zoology) at the UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN – MADISON 2007 i ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Reflecting on the contributions of my colleagues and friends during my graduate studies gives me a strong sense of gratitude for the community of support that I have enjoyed. The people who surround and support me deserve more thanks than I can describe here. Friends and family have supported my graduate studies by generously accommodating my tight schedule and warmly offering encouragement throughout the process. Monica Turner guided my graduate studies in numerous ways. It was her trust in my abilities and willingness to learn about a new study organism that first made this research possible. She encouraged me to pursue the research questions that most interested and inspired me, although it meant charting territory that was new to both of us. Monica served as the ideal mentor for me by requiring clear communication, modeling an efficient and balanced work ethic, providing critical reviews, and listening compassionately. This research benefited from the expertise and generosity of outstanding Wisconsin ecologists. Members of my graduate research committee, Steve Carpenter, Claudio Gratton, Tony Ives, Bobbi Peckarsky, and Joy Zedler, all offered useful suggestions and critiques on experimental design, pressing research questions, and the manuscripts. Cecile Ane provided additional statistical advice and smiles. Bill Smith, Bob DuBois, and Robert Bohanan answered (or reassured me that I should try to answer) many questions about field methods, Odonata biology, and species identification.
