Biología de Organismos y Sistemas, University of Oviedo, Spain (Dr. Francisco J. Ocharan) RESEARCH INTERESTS I am a behavioral ecologist, interested in the micro- and macroevolutionary processes that promote diversity. My research has explored questions on the evolution of color signals, color vision, and flight morphology. I am particularly interested in understanding the evolution of color signals, how they are perceived by intended and unintended receivers and the role of these audiences in driving population and species divergence. I also study the evolution of flight morphology because wings are large conspicuous body surfaces that can be also used as motion signal vehicles for intra- and interspecific communication. -

Summary – After the third European Congress of Odonatology (ECOO) which took place from 11 to 17 July in Montpellier (France), 21 odonatologists from six countries participated in the week-long field trip that was organised in the Aude department. This area was chosen as it is under- surveyed and offered the participants the possibility to discover the Languedoc-Roussillon region and the dragonfly fauna of southern France. In summary, 43 sites were investigated involving 385 records and 45 dragonfly species. These records could be added to the regional database. No less than five species mentioned in the Habitats Directive ( Coenagrion mercuriale , Gomphus flavipes , G. -

Dorsolateral Cuticular Outgrowths in Second Stadium Larvae of Gomphus flavipes (Odonata: Gomphidae)
International Journal of Odonatology, 2015 Vol. 18, No. 1, 65–69, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/13887890.2015.1013512 Dorsolateral cuticular outgrowths in second stadium larvae of Gomphus flavipes (Odonata: Gomphidae) Carsten Schüttea∗ and Ole Müllerb aBindestraße 16, D-38162 Weddel, Germany; bBirkenweg 6d, D-15306 Libbenichen, Germany (Received 24 November 2014; Accepted 23 January 2015) Dedicated to Georg Rüppell, who always inspires us with his enthusiasm for dragonflies. Second and third stadium larvae of Gomphus flavipes have dorsolateral cuticular outgrowths in the form of small basal tubercles bearing fan-shaped setae. These sensilla are aligned in two rows on each side of the thorax and abdomen. European species of Gomphus, Onychogomphus and Ophiogomphus that we examined lack these structures, having instead, at most, short hairlike setae in double rows. The fan- shaped setae of G. flavipes are present only in second and third stadia, apparently being lost later in larval development. We speculate that this loss might be due to changes in microhabitat or might be some kind of phylogenetic constraint. Keywords: dragonfly; larvae; abdominal protuberance; Gomphus flavipes; Gomphus graslini; Gomphus pulchellus; Gomphus simillimus; Ophiogomphus cecilia; Onychogomphus uncatus Introduction To distinguish larvae of different species of the family of Gomphidae morphological characters like lateral abdominal spines or dorsal hooks were used (e.g. Suhling & Müller, 1996). Within European members of the genus Gomphus, only the larva of Gomphus flavipes (Charpentier) has developed a small single-scaled structure at the posterior margin of abdominal segment 9 (Suhling & Müller, 1996, p. 169), so it can be distinguished from other European Gomphus species. -

DuBoisa∗ and William A. Smithb aDepartment of Natural Resources, Bureau of Natural Heritage Conservation, Superior, WI, USA bDepartment of Natural Resources, Bureau of Natural Heritage Conservation, Madison, WI, USA (Received 11 March 2016; final version received 25 April 2016) We marked and released 276 F-0 larvae of Ophiogomphus rupinsulensis in the fall of 2008 in a 99-m riffle (marking riffle) of a small, serially discontinuous, northern Wisconsin river (USA). We then recovered marked exuviae via exhaustive collecting on the banks of a 272-m sampling reach in which the marking riffle was located during spring of 2009. We collected 6054 exuviae of O. rupinsulensis along the sampling reach, including 3829 exuviae along the marking riffle (19.3 exuviae m–1). Mark retention was complete and our ability to recover marked exuviae in the field was high (92%). We recovered 38 marked exuviae which provided a minimum estimate of survival (14%) for F-0 larvae from late September to the following June. The density of F-0 larvae in the marking riffle in late September was estimated at 22.6 larvae m–2. Nearly all F-0 larvae made small downstream movements (97% moved < 60 m) at some time during the 36 weeks before emergence, but they did not make substantial longitudinal movements. These results affirmed the premise that locations of found exuviae of O. -
Diel Pattern of Activity, Mating, and Flight Behaviour in Onychogomphus Uncatus (Odonata: Gomphidae)
----- Received 17 May 2003; revised and accepted 24 October 2003 Diel pattern of activity, mating, and flight behaviour in Onychogomphus uncatus (Odonata: Gomphidae) Gunnar Rehfeldt Fasanenstra~e 3, D-381 02 Braunschweig, Germany. <g. [email protected]> Key words: Odonata, dragonfly, France, irrigation canal, reproductive behaviour, flight behaviour, Onychogomphus uncatus. ABSTRACT The behaviour of Onychogomphus uncatus, including flight and mating activity, was studied at a fast-flowing irrigation canal. During the day, males perched in sections of the canal with a strong current and a turbulent water surface. During short flights, interactions with other con-specific and hetero-specific males occurred, particularly with Orthetrum coerulescens. Under conditions of high population density, the frequent occurrence and disturbances by this species often resulted in male 0. uncatus leaving a particular section of the canal. In the late afternoon and evening, males concentrated on ground perches in the vicinity of the water. The reproductive system of 0. uncatus was found to be 'encounter limited'. The operational sex ratio of imagines at the water was always strongly biased in favour of the males. Individual females were observed at the water during the morning and evening hours. Following pair formation there was a prolonged period of copulation away from the water. Most pair formations were observed in the morning and evening hours. They took place over water, and in the evening hours also away from the water. INTRODUCTION Compared with other families of Anisoptera, little is known about the activity, reproduction behaviour or habitat demands of imaginal Gomphidae. Kaiser (1974) studied the flight behaviour of male Onychogomphus forcipatus forcipatus (Linnaeus) at its mating sites, while Miller & Miller (1985) observed the behaviour of 0. -

Adult body size is the result of important environmental, maternal and/or genetic effects acting on animals during devel- opment. Here we investigate how sexual size dimorphism (SSD) develops in seven species of Odonata: Anax imperator, Cordule- gaster boltonii, Onychogomphus uncatus, Oxygastra curtisii (Anisoptera), Cercion lindeni, Ischnura graellsii and Platycnemis acutipennis (Zygoptera). SSD of both the last larval and adult stages of the same individuals, which were reared under laboratory conditions, was measured. The aims were to investigate (i) whether SSD develops during the larval stage, (ii) the direction of larval and adult SSD, and (iii) whether the direction of adult SSD can be predicted by the mating system of a given species (e.g. males of territorial species being larger than females and the opposite for non-territorial species). -

ABSTRACT The region is broadly determined by desert, which forms a huge belt between the western Palaearctic and the Afrotropics. Fourteen out of the 125 odonate species recorded so far are endemics. There are two main centres of endemism in the region: the northern Maghreb and the southern Arabian Peninsula. Odonate habitats in the desert are especially endangered by dryness and pollution. Fourteen species - most of them endemics - are regarded as critical. Conservation measures are suggested. REGIONAL DEFINITION Northern Africa is broadly determined by desert. Roughly one third of the African continent is covered by the Sahara. Due to faunal affinities, the easterly adjacent Arabian Desert is here included. -
