Nipperess1, Gunther Theischinger2,3, Eren Turak2,3 and Lesley Hughes1 1Macquarie University, Sydney, NSW, ABSTRACT Australia, 2Office of Environment and Aim Invertebrates are often overlooked in assessments of climate change Heritage NSW, Sydney, NSW, Australia, 3 impacts. Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) are a significant component of Australian Museum, 6 College Street, Sydney, NSW 2010, Australia freshwater macroinvertebrate diversity and are likely to be highly responsive to a changing climate. We investigate whether climate change could lead to signif- icant alteration of continental patterns of diversity and whether vulnerable species are taxonomically clustered. Location Australia. Methods Habitat suitability of 270 odonate species was modelled, and a sim- plified phylogeny was developed based on taxonomic relationships and expert A Journal of Conservation Biogeography opinion. These maps were then combined to compare species richness, ende- mism, taxonomic diversity (TD) and taxonomic endemism (TE) under climate change scenarios, and estimate turnover in species composition. Based on the concentration of vulnerable species in regions associated with Gondwanan re- licts, we tested the possibility that a focus on species loss would underestimate loss of evolutionary diversity. Results Species richness of Australian Odonata is concentrated in the Wet Tro- pics, central-north Australia and south-east Queensland. Several additional regions support endemic assemblages, including the Victorian alpine region, the Pilbara and far south-western Australia. Major shifts in composition are expected across most of the east coast in response to climate change, and Tas- mania has the potential to become a major refuge for mainland species.

    Adam's Emerald Dragonfly

    Adam’s Emerald Dragonfly - Archaeophya adamsi December 2013, Primefact 187, Third edition Fisheries Ecosystems Unit, Port Stephens Fisheries Institute Description The Adam’s Emerald Dragonfly (also called Horned Urfly) is a moderately large, robust Dragonfly. Larvae grow to about 23mm in length and have a large two-lobed frontal plate on the head (see Figure 1), which distinguishes them from any other species found in NSW. The adults have a brown-black body with yellow markings, and a slight green or bluish metallic reflection on some parts. The abdomen length is around 46 mm and wingspan around 75 mm. Habitat and ecology Adam’s Emerald Dragonfly larvae have been Figure 1: Adult Adam’s Emerald Dragonfly (Photo: found in narrow, shaded riffle zones with CSIRO Entomology) and larva (Photo: J.

    An Overview of Molecular Odonate Studies, and Our Evolutionary Understanding of Dragonfly and Damselfly (Insecta: Odonata) Behavior

    International Journal of Odonatology Vol. 14, No. 2, June 2011, 137–147 Dragons fly, biologists classify: an overview of molecular odonate studies, and our evolutionary understanding of dragonfly and damselfly (Insecta: Odonata) behavior Elizabeth F. Ballare* and Jessica L. Ware Department of Biological Sciences, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, 195 University Ave., Boyden Hall, Newark, NJ, 07102, USA (Received 18 November 2010; final version received 3 April 2011) Among insects, perhaps the most appreciated are those that are esthetically pleasing: few capture the interest of the public as much as vibrantly colored dragonflies and damselflies (Insecta: Odonata). These remarkable insects are also extensively studied. Here, we review the history of odonate systematics, with an emphasis on discrepancies among studies. Over the past century, relationships among Odonata have been reinterpreted many times, using a variety of data from wing vein morphology to DNA. Despite years of study, there has been little consensus about odonate taxonomy. In this review, we compare odonate molecular phylogenetic studies with respect to gene and model selection, optimality criterion, and dataset completeness. These differences are discussed in relation to the evolution of dragonfly behavior. Keywords: Odonata; mitochondrion; nuclear; phylogeny; systematic; dragonfly; damselfly Introduction Why study Odonata? The order Odonata comprises three suborders: Anisozygoptera, Anisoptera, and Zygoptera. There are approximately 6000 species of Odonata described worldwide (Ardila-Garcia & Gregory, 2009). Of the three suborders Anisoptera and Zygoptera are by far the most commonly observed and collected, because there are only two known species of Anisozygoptera under the genus Epiophlebia. All odonate nymphs are aquatic, with a few rare exceptions such as the semi-aquatic Pseudocordulia (Watson, 1983), and adults are usually found near freshwater ponds, marshes, rivers (von Ellenrieder, 2010), streams, and lakes (although some species occur in areas of mild salinity; Corbet, 1999).

    Critical Species of Odonata in Australia

    ---Guardians of the watershed. Global status of Odonata: critical species, threat and conservation --- Critical species of Odonata in Australia John H. Hawking 1 & Gunther Theischinger 2 1 Cooperative Research Centre for Freshwater Ecology, Murray-Darling Freshwater Research Centre, PO Box 921, Albury NSW, Australia 2640. <[email protected]> 2 Environment Protection Authority, New South Wales, 480 Weeroona Rd, Lidcombe NSW, Australia 2141. <[email protected]> Key words: Odonata, dragonfly, IUCN, critical species, conservation, Australia. ABSTRACT The Australian Odonata fauna is reviewed. The state of the current taxonomy and ecology, studies on biodiversity, studies on larvae and the all identification keys are reported. The conservation status of the Australian odonates is evaluated and the endangered species identified. In addition the endemic species, species with unusual biology and species, not threatened yet, but maybe becoming critical in the future are discussed and listed. INTRODUCTION Australia has a diverse odonate fauna with many relict (most endemic) and most of the modern families (Watson et al. 1991). The Australian fauna is now largely described, but the lack of organised surveys resulted in limited distributional and ecological information. The conservation of Australian Odonata also received scant attention, except for Watson et al. (1991) promoting the awareness of Australia's large endemic fauna, the listing of four species as endangered (Moore 1997; IUCN 2003) and the suggesting of categories for all Australian species (Hawking 1999). This conservation report summarizes the odonate studies/ literature for species found in Continental Australia (including nearby smaller and larger islands) plus Lord Howe Island and Norfolk Island. Australia encompasses tropical, temperate, arid, alpine and off shore island climatic regions, with the land mass situated between latitudes 11-44 os and 113-154 °E, and flanked on the west by the Indian Ocean and on the east by the Pacific Ocean.

Over 150 years of taxonomic study of Libelluloidea Rambur, 1842, beginning with Hagen (1840), [Rambur, M.P., 1842. Neuropteres. Histoire naturelle des Insectes, Paris, pp. 534; Hagen, H., 1840.

Revue des Odonates ou Libellules d’Europe [avec la collaboration de H.A. Hagen]. Muquardt, Brux- elles; Leipzig, 1–408.], has failed to produce a consensus about family and subfamily relationships. The present study provides a well- substantiated phylogeny of the Libelluloidea generated from gene fragments of two independent genes, the 16S and 28S ribosomal RNA (rRNA), and using models that take into account non-independence of correlated rRNA sites. Ninety-three ingroup taxa and six outgroup taxa were amplified for the 28S fragment; 78 ingroup taxa and five outgroup taxa were amplified for the 16S fragment.

    Of the Anisopteran Vesica Spermalis (Odonata)

    ------- Received 08 November 2004; revised and accepted 29 june 2005 ------- Structure, function and evolution of the 'glans' of the anisopteran vesica spermalis (Odonata) Hans Klaus Pfau Rathenaustra&e 14, D-65326 Aarbergen, Germany. <[email protected]> Key words: Odonata, dragonfly, functional morphology, secondary copulatory apparatus, sperm-transfer, sperm displacement, evolution, phylogenetic systematics. ABSTRACT Comparative investigations of the distal part of the vesica spermalis ('glans') of the anisopteran male secondary copulatory apparatus reveal three different 'solutions' of combining the emptying-mechanism of the sperm-reservoir with a 'washing out' of sperm of the male predecessor. The responsible apparatus of the glans - actually driven by pressure-changes inside the erectile organ, which is a part of the whole vesica spermalis - is shortly apostrophized as 'two-way tap' (Gomphaeschnidae, Aeshnidae), pressure-suction pump (Austropetaliidae, Gomphidae, Petaluridae, Chlorogomphidae, Neopetaliidae, Cordulegastridae) and suction-pressure pump ('Corduliidae', Cordulephyidae, Gomphomacromiidae, Synthemistidae, Libelluli­ dae). The two types of sperm-pump are interpreted to effectuate an intensification of the sperm-jet and to serve as auxiliary devices in emptying the sperm-reservoir. On account of the opposite co-ordination of extension and compression, the two types of sperm-pump are interpreted as alternative; no possibility could be detec­ ted to form evolutionary transitions without total loss of functions. This indicates two monophyletic groups: Petaluroidea and Libelluloidea. The phylogenetic relation­ ships between these groups and the Gomphaeschnidae and Aeshnidae remained questionable. The different stages of evolution of the glans, which reflect phylo­ genetic splittings, are reconstructed. It is assumed that at the beginning a pre­ gomphaeschnoid glans (or a gomphaeschnoid 'two-way tap' with tongue?) used two functional pores of ejaculation and scattered sperm on account of the erectile organ-coupled movements of the glans.
