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.

  • The Japanese Dragonfly-Fauna of the Family Libellulidae

(With Plate 2.) Concerning our fundamental knowledge of the Japanese fauna of dragonflies, we owe to the works of De Selys-Longchamps. His first work appeared some thirty years ago under the title „Les Odonates du Japon“ *); in this monographic list the author enumerates 67 species, of which 27 are represented by Libellulidae. This publication was followed by a second paper entitled „Les Odonates recueillis aux iles Loo-Choo“ 2),* in which 10 additional species are described , and of these 6 are Libellulidae. Needham, Williamson, and Foerster published some studies on Japanese dragonflies in several papers. Quite recently Prof. Matsumura 3) des­ cribes the dragonflies from Saghalin together with other insects occuring on that island. An elaborate work on Libellulidae is in the course of publication4), by which our knowledge on this fauna is widely extended, though I find that many species of this family are yet spared in this work. So far as I am aware, in these works are represented those Japanese dragonflies which are hitherto known. They are 48 species in number. At present our empire is greatly added in its area, so that it is extended from the high parallel of 50° north to the tropic cancer, containing those various parts of locality which are almost not yet explored.

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.

Between March and October 2011 I carried out a systematic survey, gathered unpublished records from different sources dating from 2007 to 2011, and concluded that the species is nowadays widespread in the Algarve, living in many permanent lentic systems. A large number of artificial ponds recently built and scattered throughout the region, plus the dispersion capacity of the species, as well as global warm- ing, are potential causes to explain this apparent colonization, but additionally an increase in field research should not be underestimated.

Nevertheless, some man-made water bodies have proven to be valuable for biodiversity conservation as they can harbour many species. We investigated 36 man-made water bodies to determine their suitability as habitats for Odonata. Larvae were sampled in littoral, during the summer months of 2016 and 2017. At each sampling site, ten samples were collected using a benthos hand net. A total of 21 Odonata species was recorded. Odonata assemblages mainly consisted of common widespread species. Yet, at Vlačine Reservoir, located in the Dinaric Western Balkan ecoregion, we also recorded a rare and endangered Mediterranean species, Lindenia tetraphylla (Vander Linden, 1825). Aquatic and riparian vegetation, water level fluctuations and dissolved oxygen concentration had the highest influence on Odonata, showing that man- made water bodies with a well-developed riparian zone and aquatic vegetation, and with low daily and seasonal water level fluctuations, can provide suitable habitats for diverse Odonata species.
