BioRisk 5: 127–139. doi: 10.3897/biorisk.5.846 Abstract Th e history of recording and monitoring of Odonata in Britain is briefl y described. Results are then pre- sented which suggest that the country’s Odonata fauna is currently in a period of fl ux, in a manner consist- ent with the actions of a high-level regulatory factor such as climate change. Th e ranges of many resident species are shifting. Leucorrhinia dubia has recently been lost from southern England, but many species are presently expanding their ranges to the north and west, some (such as Aeshna mixta and Anax imperator) with considerable speed. In addition to these changes, a number of ‘southern’ species have started to ap- pear in Britain for the very fi rst time. Th ese include Lestes barbarus, Erythromma viridulum (which has now become a locally-common resident in southeast England), Anax parthenope and Crocothemis erythraea.

  • Dragonflies - 2003
    DRAGONFLIES - 2003 Banded Demoiselle Calopteryx splendens More commonly recorded along streams and rivers but small numbers are now regularly seen along the canal since the first on July 6, 1987. The only record away from the canal was at Fly Pool on August 20 1993. Emerald Damselfly Lestes sponsa This is a common species especially where there is emergent vegetation amongst which it is well camouflaged. Most frequent from July to August. Large Red Damselfly Pyrrhosoma nymphula Frequently the first species to be recorded in the spring. Small numbers can be found at most sites usually from mid-May to early August. Red-eyed Damselfly Erythromma najas A regionally scarce species that is locally common during June and July on the canals of the Brownhills and Pelsall area and at Marklew’s Pond on Brownhills Common. It has been recorded once at Chasewater on the Nine Foot Pool. Azure Damselfly Coenagrion puella A fairly common species mainly recorded from the well vegetated smaller pools from late May to the end of July. Common Blue Damselfly Enallagma cyathigerum Probably the most abundant species and it can often be seen flying low over open water from late May to early September. Blue-tailed Damselfly Ischnura elegans A very common species to be found in good numbers from late May to the end of August. Colour variant females are occasionally noted. Common Hawker Aeshna juncea Essentially a heathland species that can usually be seen around the North Marsh and the Eastern Heath in August and September. Migrant Hawker Aeshna mixta A relatively recent coloniser of South Staffordshire with Chasewater’s first record being on September 27, 1990.

Pp. 1-11. In the studies encompassing the years 1994-2006 (mainly 2004 and 2005) in the area of the Łód Hills Landscape Park, 40 dragonfly species were recorded. Fauna of this area consists of eurytopic forms, rare and endangered species on the national and regional scale are not numerous. The most valuable species of the park area are: Lestes barbarus, Ischnura pumilio, Coenagrion lunulatum, Erythromma viridulum, Aeshna affinis, Anax parthenope and Libellula fulva. The studies covered 4 types of habitats: running waters, fish ponds, small temporary water bodies, water bodies on peat bogs. The most valuable habitats were small pools inhabited by the strong populations of Lestes barbarus and Leucorrhinia pectoralis as well as fish ponds in which some rare typical of middle Poland species were found.

The Institute is part of the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, and was established in 1973 by the merger of the research stations of the Nature Conservancy with the Institute of Tree Biology. It has been at the forefront of ecological research ever since. The six research stations of the Institute provide a ready access to sites and to environmental and ecological problems in any part of Britain. In addition to the broad 'environmental knowledge and experience expected of the modern ecologist, each station has a range of special expertise and facilities. Thus, the Institute is able to provide unparallelled opportunities for long-term, multidisciplinary studies of complex environmental and ecological problems. IIL undertakes specialist ecological research on subjects ranging from Micro-organisms to trees and mammals, from coastal habitats to uplands, Emil derelict land to air pollution. Understanding - the ecology of different species of natural and man-made communities plays an increasingly - important role in areas such as monitoring ecological aspects of agriculture, improving productivity in forestry, controlling pests, managing and conserving wildlife, assessing the causes and effects of pollution, and rehabilitating disturbed sites.
