Aquatic and Terrestrial Vegetation Influence
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. -
Localizada Una Nueva Zona De Cría De Lestes Dryas Kirby, 1890 (Odonata: Lestidae) En Andalucía
Boletín Sociedad Entomológica Aragonesa, n1 36 (2005) : 262. NOTAS BREVES Localizada una nueva zona de cría de Lestes dryas Kirby, 1890 (Odonata: Lestidae) en Andalucía Francisco Jesús Cano Villegas Departamento de Ciencias Ambientales, Área de Zoología, Universidad Pablo de Olavide, 41013 (Sevilla). [email protected] Resumen: Se comunica el hallazgo de una nueva zona de cría de Lestes dryas Kirby, 1890, un odonato considerado raro en toda Europa, en Andalucía y la tercera cita de adultos para Andalucía. Palabras clave: Lestes dryas, Lestidae, Odonata, Andalucía. Lestes dryas se caracteriza por tener una distribución holártica, estando presente tanto en América del Norte como en Europa y Asia. En Europa, sus poblaciones son más escasas conforme se desciende en latitud, de forma que en la región mediterránea se encuentra principalmente en zonas montañosas (Askew, 1988). En el norte de África se ha observado sólo en zonas montañosas del Rif y el Atlas marroquí (Jacquemin & Boudot, 1999). Existen citas de L. dryas en toda la Península Ibérica, pero en la mitad sur sus poblaciones conocidas son muy escasas (Ocha- ran Larrondo, 1987). En Andalucía existen datos referentes a varias capturas de adultos realizadas a finales de la década de los setenta, las primeras observaciones corresponden a 1977 en varias charcas cercanas a El Rocío, en Huelva (Dufour, 1978); posterior- mente sólo existe otra cita en junio de 1978 en el arroyo Parrilla (La Granjuela, Córdoba) (Ferreras Romero, 1982). Asimismo hay una cita de recolección de larvas en el río Guaduares en 1988 (Villalu- enga del Rosario, Cádiz) (Jödicke, 1996). El medio fluvial no parece el habitual de las poblaciones de esta especie que, en el resto de su área de distribución, están asociadas a pozas poco profundas, charcas temporales y pequeños embalses (Askew, 1988). -

E-mail : [email protected] RÉSUMÉ.— Les Odonates de l’Oued Isser (Kabylie, Algérie) : statut et déterminants environnementaux de leur distribution.— Une étude odonatologique a été réalisée durant six mois successifs, de mai à octobre 2013 à l’Oued Isser, situé dans le nord centre algérien, une région pratiquement inexplorée auparavant. Un total de 19 espèces d’Odonates a été enregistré durant l’échantillonnage mensuel de six stations. Il est à noter la présence de Lestes numidicus et de Platycnemis subdilatata, endémiques du Maghreb. Nos résultats étendent considérablement vers l’ouest la distribution connue de L. numidicus, ayant un statut « données insuffisantes » (DD) sur la liste rouge de l’UICN. À la lumière de la présente étude, on ne propose aucun changement de la classification de la Liste Rouge de l’IUCN à l’exception de L. numidicus qui devrait être classé comme quasi menacé (NT), dans l’attente de nouvelles prospections. -

Updated Checklist of Odonata Fauna in the Turkish Thrace Region, with Additional Records of New, Rare, and Threatened Taxa
Turkish Journal of Zoology Turk J Zool (2017) 41: 33-42 http://journals.tubitak.gov.tr/zoology/ © TÜBİTAK Research Article doi:10.3906/zoo-1601-65 Updated checklist of Odonata fauna in the Turkish Thrace Region, with additional records of new, rare, and threatened taxa Nurten HACET* Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Trakya University, Edirne, Turkey Received: 26.01.2016 Accepted/Published Online: 14.06.2016 Final Version: 25.01.2017 Abstract: A new record for the Odonata from Turkish Thrace, Lindenia tetraphylla (Vander Linden, 1825), and its heterofamilial heterosexual tandem with a female of Orthetrum albistylum (Selys, 1848) are reported. This finding increases the species number in the region to 56. The current species list of the region based on unpublished records and available literature is presented. Five species are listed at subspecies levels in the region and the controversial subspecies status of some species is summarized. Additional records of rare species based on specimens collected in the region between 2001 and 2015 are provided and their distributions and threat statuses in the European regional assessment are considered. Somatochlora flavomaculata (Vander Linden, 1825) is considered as a species whose presence in the region needs to be confirmed. The presence of Gomphus schneiderii Selys, 1850 is unclear in the region. Key words: List, Lindenia tetraphylla, Gomphidae, new record, heterofamilial tandem, rare and threatened species, Turkish Thrace 1.

Odonata) in Cities Across Central Europe
Eur. J. Entomol. 109: 235–245, 2012 http://www.eje.cz/scripts/viewabstract.php?abstract=1702 ISSN 1210-5759 (print), 1802-8829 (online) Patterns in the diversity of dragonflies (Odonata) in cities across Central Europe CHRISTOPH WILLIGALLA and THOMAS FARTMANN* Department of Community Ecology, Institute of Landscape Ecology, University of Münster, Robert-Koch-Str. 28, 48149 Münster, Germany Key words. Odonata, climate change, environmental gradient, species richness, temperature, urbanisation Abstract. Urbanisation is an important cause of species extinctions. Although urban water systems are also highly modified, studies on aquatic or semi-aquatic organisms are rare. The aim of this study is to identify the factors that determine species richness of Odo- nata in 22 Central European cities and along an urban-rural gradient within six of them. With 64 indigenous species in total and an average of 33 species per city, the species richness of Odonata in Central European cities is comparatively high. A generalised linear model indicates that species richness is positively related to city area. Additional predictors are climatic variables (temperature amplitude, sunshine duration and July temperature) and the year last studied. Since most cities are usually located in areas with natu- rally high habitat heterogeneity, we assume that cities should be naturally rich in dragonflies. The role of city area as a surrogate for habitat and structural richness most likely explains why it is strongly associated with Odonata species richness. The relationship between species richness and the climatic variables probably reflects that Odonata species richness in Central Europe is limited by warm and sunny conditions more than by availability of water. -

185 First records of Aeshna isoceles and the rediscovery of Lestes barbarus on Cyprus (Odonata: Lestidae, Aeshnidae) David J.

In this paper we report the presence of Aeshna isoceles for the first time from Cy- prus. Five males were observed and photographically documented in May 2012 in a small valley below Rizokarpaso on the Karpasia peninsula. This was, however, not followed up at that time. The species was rediscovered by members of the Cyprus Dragonfly Study Group (CDSG) in the same valley in April 2019. Reproductive behaviour (copula and oviposition) was observed and a population is assumed to be present. It seems possible that the species has been present on the island for some time but overlooked, due to the remoteness of the site. Furthermore, members of the CDSG also photographically documented a male Lestes barbarus at an agricultural tank near Agridia in August 2019. The last published sighting of this species on Cyprus was of four specimens dating back to 1948 that are stored in the collection of the British Museum of Natural History. We further report on two unpublished sightings of this species at Fasouri marsh in 1997 and on the Gialias river near Kotsiatis in 2002. -

In 1996, 26 field trips were conducted to set up a complete species inventory and to investigate seasonal variations in the composition of the community. 26 species were recorded, of which 10 are listed in the Red List of endangered species. The dragonfly community is dominated by species preferring standing waters rich in aquatic plants. The present species inventory has been compared to a "target list" established on the basis of historical data. An einem künstlichen Weiher wurden im Jahr 1996 umfangreiche Untersuchungen der Li bellenfauna durchgeführt (26 Begehungen). 26 Arten wurden nachgewiesen, 10 davon sind in der Roten Liste der gefährdeten Tierarten aufgelistet. Die Libellenzönose ist als typische "Ver landungsgesellschaft" zu bezeichnen. Schwerpunkte der Arbeit sind die Analyse der jahreszeit lichen Unterschiede in der Zusammensetzung des Artenspektrums sowie ein Vergleich des nachgewiesenen Arteninventars mit einem faunistischen Leitbild, das auf der Basis histori scher Daten ermittelt wurde. -

The research was carried out under the conditions of Botanical garden‘s pond of Slovak University of Agriculture (SUA) in Nitra. 229 dragonfly individuals (105♂, 124♀) were trapped during the monitored period. Trapped individuals represented 10 species and 3 families of dragonflies. The aim of the research was to determine the species composition of dragonflies of the selected locality. Based on the representation of individual species for the monitored locality, its dominance was also calculated.
