Pour marquer le 20 e anniversaire de notre Société, mais aussi pour disposer d’un document actualisé, nous avons entrepris la réalisation d’un nouveau répertoire, cette fois- ci élargi à l’ensemble des travaux publiés par la SfO, englobant également les ouvrages édités au cours de la période préliminaire à sa création, c’est-à-dire de 1985 à 1990 inclus. C’est aussi une manière de rendre hommage à tous ceux qui ont contribué depuis le début des années 1980 (notamment à partir du lancement du programme national Invod en 1982), puis depuis 1991 avec notre association, au développement de l’Odonatologie française. Qu’ils en soient très chaleureusement remerciés ! Un bref bilan de l’action de l’association sur le plan de la diffusion des connaissances au travers de la revue Martinia et des autres publications, montre que jusqu’en 2011 près de 6000 pages réunissant plus de 720 articles et brèves communications ont été publiées. La revue et ses suppléments réunissent environ les deux tiers de l’ensemble, le tiers restant étant les numéros hors série de Martinia et les ouvrages. Parmi ces derniers, plusieurs d’entre eux sont encore aujourd’hui des références en matière d’Odonatologie comme par exemple le travail sur les larves et les exuvies d’Harald Heidemann et Richard Seidenbusch (2002) ou celui, plus récent, également dédié à la reconnaissance des exuvies réalisé par Guillaume Doucet (dont c’est déjà la seconde édition). En ce qui concerne le contenu de la revue, de la note de terrain à l’article traitant de systématique, d’écologie, de conservation de ce patrimoine biologique particulier (...), il serait vain de présenter succintement un bilan précis de la diversité des sujets abordés et de cet apport conséquent à l’Odonatologie française. En fait, les cinq index présentés dans ce document répondent d’une certaine manière à cet objectif et permettront aux personnes intéressées de trouver les sujets ou les informations qu’elles recherchent. Toutes les actions réalisées et les nombreux articles et notes publiés témoignent en premier lieu de l’intérêt des Odonates au sein de notre environnement aussi bien par les amateurs que par les professionnels. Ils montrent 3 aussi et surtout l’évolution progressive des connaissances sur la biologie, les comportements et l’écologie de ces insectes, la manière de les étudier in situ et d’assurer leur conservation. Entre 1985 et 2011 un grand pas a été franchi sur ces différents aspects ! Aujourd’hui, l’Odonatologie française se professionnalise et d’importants programmes nationaux et régionaux d’actions sont mis en place pour mieux prendre en compte ces insectes et bien sûr les autres entités animales et végétales sous différents aspects : biologie, écologie, nature des habitats, conservation... En publiant et diffusant les résultats de ces études, la revue Martinia participe ainsi activement à ces différentes actions. A l’origine, la revue Martinia regroupait des articles, des notes de chasse, des informations diverses et de nombreuses annonces. Depuis 1994, ces dernières figurent dans la Lettre des Sociétaires , laissant ainsi à la revue les aspects faunistiques et scientifiques et quelques notes techniques de la Rédaction. Aujourd’hui, Internet a pris le relais sur bien des aspects et en dehors de notre site www.libellules.org, de très nombreux autres lieux d’informations et d’échanges sur les Odonates et leurs milieux existent sur la toile. Par contre, Martinia reste toujours une référence sur les Odonates. La réorganisation dont la revue a fait l’objet en 2010 avec notamment l’intervention d’un Rédacteur en chef (Philippe Lambret) a encore permis d’améliorer le niveau des articles et des notes publiés, de renforcer ou compléter le Comité de Lecture, élément indispensable pour offrir au lecteur des textes d’un bon niveau scientifique et bien compréhensible par tous. Malgré l’aide efficace de l’informatique, du Rédacteur en chef et des membres du Comité de lecture (tous bénévoles, vous l’imaginez bien !), il faut insister sur le fait que la réalisation d’une telle revue requiert une importante disponibilité d’autant plus que nous tentons de respecter les normes françaises ou internationales pour renforcer encore son image. Ce travail réclame de nombreuses heures de labeur précis et méticuleux aux différentes personnes qui participent à sa réalisation : accusé de réception des manuscrits ; première lecture qui déterminera souvent l’acceptation ou non du manuscrit ; parfois l’informatisation des textes (OCR) ; la mise en page préliminaire et le formatage des textes selon la ligne éditoriale de la revue ; s’ils manquent, la réalisation des traductions en anglais des résumés d’articles ; l’envoi des textes au comité de lecture (seconde lecture sur le fond) ; dernière lecture (sur la forme) ; retour aux auteurs (dernières épreuves) ; corrections et mise en page finales ; suivi de l’édition chez l’imprimeur ; sans parler des difficultés liées à la compatibilité des fichiers informatiques, malheureusement assez fréquentes encore aujourd’hui, occasionnant parfois bien des difficultés et pertes de temps. Et bien sûr les envois postaux aux abonnés restent à réaliser... Pour terminer, j’espère que ce travail sera utile à tous sachant que malgré tout le soin apporté à sa réalisation des imperfections ou des erreurs ont certainement échappé à notre vigilance. N’hésitez pas à nous les communiquer afin que nous puissions les prendre en compte lors d’une prochaine version numérique et papier. D’avance merci. Jean-Louis Dommanget René Martin et la revue Martinia Dans le premier fascicule de Martinia en 1985, l’éditorial indiquait que ce bulletin était dédié à René Martin, éminent Odonatologue qui par son importante contribution à l’étude des libellules restera le symbole pour notre pays du naturaliste passionné qui a consacré sa vie à l’observation de ces insectes. Lorsque j’écrivis ce texte, une note infrapaginale indiquait : « nous aurons l’occasion de présenter ultérieurement les principales étapes de la vie de ce naturaliste », je ne m’imaginais pas que plus de vingt années allaient se passer avant d’honorer ce souhait. Le manque de disponibilité, les aléas de la vie que connaît hélas chacun de nous ont repoussé peu à peu ce projet qui, malgré tout, n’a jamais quitté mon esprit. C’est donc seulement en 2006 que fut publié cet hommage. En dehors des qualités morales de l’homme, des compétences scientifiques du naturaliste et de l’odonatologue qui sont développés dans ce fascicule, deux aspects personnels retiennent içi mon attention : - Tout d’abord, depuis 1985 un bulletin lui est dédié. Il paraît régulièrement et deviendra plus tard revue scientifique, entretenant ainsi son souvenir auprès des naturalistes et des spécialistes des libellules. Il était donc important de lui consacrer ce fascicule particulier pour retracer sa vie et son œuvre. - Ensuite, René Martin habitait Le Blanc, c’est-à-dire en Brenne (Indre), région qu’il a particulièrement étudiée sur le plan des Odonates. Ce pays d’étangs, de buttons, de prairies et de brandes que j’ai découvert en 1976 et parcouru durant une douzaine d’années, j’en garde de merveilleux souvenirs. Cette contrée était alors sauvage et assez peu visitée par les amoureux de la Numéro thématique de la revue nature. Les libellules y sont nombreuses en qualité et en quantité ; c’est l’endroit idéal pour tout consacré à la vie et à l’œuvre de naturaliste souhaitant étendre ses connaissances sur un nombre important d’espèces. René Martin . Cet hommage est toujours disponible auprès de la SfO, il présente de nombreux aspects de sa vie dont certains sont totalement inédits... 4 Index chronologique

  • 175 Post-Copulatory Behaviour in Calopteryx
    International Journal of Odonatology 1 (2): 175-184, 1998. © 1998 Backhuys Publishers. 175 POST-COPULATORY BEHAVIOUR IN CALOPTERYX FEMALES (INSECTA, ODONATA, CALOPTERYGIDAE). Martin Lindeboom Institut fiir systematische Zoologie, Eberhard-Karls-Universitiit Ttibingen, Auf der Morgenstelle 28, 72076 Ttibingen, Germany, e-mail: [email protected] Received 30 May 1998; revised 12 October 1998; accepted 13 October 1998. Key words: Odonata, Calopteryx, post-copulatory behaviour, functional morphology, ovipositor, copulatory organ, microstructures, sperm removal, cryptic female choice. Abstract The post-copulatory behaviour of Calopteryx splendens females was studied under field and laboratory conditions. After termination of copulation females usually perch and bend the abdomen so that its apex touches the ground (post-copulatory posture). The post-cop­ ulatory posture is a consequence of sperm removal by males. Male and female microstruc­ tures (spines and scales) interact to move previous sperm from the female sperm storage organs to the outside during copulation stage I, after which moved sperm is located on the ovipositor. After termination of copulation females require an average of 45 seconds to brush off this sperm (N=21). The post-copulatory behaviour of females may also allow males to chase rival males before the females start to oviposit (prevention of dis­ turbances). The present study shows no evidence of cryptic female choice in C. splendens. Introduction Sperm competition in Odonata has resulted in the evolution of direct sperm removal in Zygoptera and Anisoptera. Sperm removal resulting in last male sperm precedence seems to be widespread in Zygoptera (Waage 1979a, 1984, 1986; Miller & Miller 1981; Fincke 1984; Siva-Jothy & Tsubaki 1989; Cordero & Miller 1992; Siva-Jothy & Hooper 1995).

May And approved by _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey January, 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION THE LIFE HISTORY, BEHAVIOR AND CONSERVATION OF THE TIGER SPIKETAIL DRAGONFLY (CORDULEGASTER ERRONEA HAGEN) IN NEW JERSEY by DAVID PAUL MOSKOWITZ Dissertation Director: Dr. Michael L. May This dissertation explores the life history and behavior of the Tiger Spiketail dragonfly (Cordulegaster erronea Hagen) and provides recommendations for the conservation of the species. Like most species in the genus Cordulegaster and the family Cordulegastridae, the Tiger Spiketail is geographically restricted, patchily distributed with its range, and a habitat specialist in habitats susceptible to disturbance. Most Cordulegastridae species are also of conservation concern and the Tiger Spiketail is no exception. However, many aspects of the life history of the Tiger Spiketail and many other Cordulegastridae are poorly understood, complicating conservation strategies. In this dissertation, I report the results of my research on the Tiger Spiketail in New Jersey. The research to investigate life history and behavior included: larval and exuvial sampling; radio- telemetry studies; marking-resighting studies; habitat analyses; observations of ovipositing females and patrolling males, and the presentation of models and insects to patrolling males.

  • Impact of Environmental Changes on the Behavioral Diversity of the Odonata (Insecta) in the Amazon Bethânia O
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Impact of environmental changes on the behavioral diversity of the Odonata (Insecta) in the Amazon Bethânia O. de Resende1,2*, Victor Rennan S. Ferreira1,2, Leandro S. Brasil1, Lenize B. Calvão2,7, Thiago P. Mendes1,6, Fernando G. de Carvalho1,2, Cristian C. Mendoza‑Penagos1, Rafael C. Bastos1,2, Joás S. Brito1,2, José Max B. Oliveira‑Junior2,3, Karina Dias‑Silva2, Ana Luiza‑Andrade1, Rhainer Guillermo4, Adolfo Cordero‑Rivera5 & Leandro Juen1,2 The odonates are insects that have a wide range of reproductive, ritualized territorial, and aggressive behaviors. Changes in behavior are the frst response of most odonate species to environmental alterations. In this context, the primary objective of the present study was to assess the efects of environmental alterations resulting from shifts in land use on diferent aspects of the behavioral diversity of adult odonates. Fieldwork was conducted at 92 low‑order streams in two diferent regions of the Brazilian Amazon. To address our main objective, we measured 29 abiotic variables at each stream, together with fve morphological and fve behavioral traits of the resident odonates. The results indicate a loss of behaviors at sites impacted by anthropogenic changes, as well as variation in some morphological/behavioral traits under specifc environmental conditions. We highlight the importance of considering behavioral traits in the development of conservation strategies, given that species with a unique behavioral repertoire may sufer specifc types of extinction pressure. Te enormous variety of behavior exhibited by most animals has inspired human thought, arts, and Science for centuries, from rupestrian paintings to the Greek philosophers.

  • From the Ebony Jewelwing Damsel
    Comp. Parasitol. 71(2), 2004, pp. 141–153 Calyxocephalus karyopera g. nov., sp. nov. (Eugregarinorida: Actinocephalidae: Actinocephalinae) from the Ebony Jewelwing Damselfly Calopteryx maculata (Zygoptera: Calopterygidae) in Southeast Nebraska, U.S.A.: Implications for Mechanical Prey–Vector Stabilization of Exogenous Gregarine Development RICHARD E. CLOPTON Department of Natural Science, Peru State College, Peru, Nebraska 68421, U.S.A. (e-mail: [email protected]) ABSTRACT: Calyxocephalus karyopera g. nov., sp. nov. (Apicomplexa: Eugregarinorida: Actinocephalidae: Actino- cephalinae) is described from the Ebony Jewelwing Damselfly Calopteryx maculata (Odonata: Zygoptera: Calopteryigidae) collected along Turkey Creek in Johnson County, Nebraska, U.S.A. Calyxocephalus gen. n. is distinguished by the form of the epimerite complex: a terminal thick disk or linearly crateriform sucker with a distal apopetalus calyx of petaloid lobes and a short intercalating diamerite (less than half of the total holdfast length). The epimerite complex is conspicuous until association and syzygy. Association occurs immediately before syzygy and is cephalolateral and biassociative. Gametocysts are spherical with a conspicuous hyaline coat. Lacking conspicuous sporoducts they dehisce by simple rupture. Oocysts are axially symmetric, hexagonal dipyramidic in shape with slight polar truncations, bearing 6 equatorial spines, 1 at each equatorial vertex and 6 terminal spines obliquely inserted at each pole, 1 at each vertex created by polar truncation. The ecology of the C. karyopera–C. maculata host–parasite system provides a mechanism for mechanical prey–vector stabilization of exogenous gregarine development and isolation. KEY WORDS: Odonata, Zygoptera, Calopteryx maculata, damselfly, Apicomplexa, Eugregarinida, Actinocephalidae, Actinocephalinae, Calyxocephalus karyopera, new genus, new species, parasite evolution, biodiversity, species isolation, vector, transmission.

  • Ebony Jewelwing, Black-Winged Damselfly
    EENY-693 Ebony Jewelwing, Black-Winged Damselfly (suggested common names) Calopteryx maculata (Beauvois, 1807) (Insecta: Odonata: Calopterygidae)1 Alfred Runkel, Nathan Burkett-Cadena, and Andrea Lucky2 Introduction Calopteryx maculata (Beauvois), the ebony jewelwing, is a large damselfly in the family Calopterygidae that is endemic to eastern North America. The ebony jewelwing has an iridescent green body with dark wings (Figures 1–3). Wings of the male ebony jewelwing are completely black, while wings of the female are smoky bronze with a distinct white spot (pterostigma) at the outer edge of the forewing (Figure 4). The combination of iridescent green body and dark wings distinguish this species from all other damselflies in the family Calopterygidae, and from other damselflies in North America. The ebony jewelwing is not listed as a species of concern. Figure 2. Male ebony jewelwing, Calopteryx maculata (Beauvois), resting on a leaf (lateral view).

I am sure you will find it an enjoyable and informative read. Our income comes from the sale of permits and any grants that we manage to acquire, and all monies are put back into the Reserve. As you are aware, the management of the Reserve has always been undertaken by volunteers, but specialist work is done by our contractors so this is where a lot of our income is spent. I would therefore like to thank all of you for your continued support in renewing your permits, sending in donations and, in two cases, for bequests leaving money to the Reserve in wills. You will see on the cover of our report the wonderful drawing produced free of charge to us by the highly thought of wildlife artist Colin Woolf.

The species ranges widely across the eastern US, west to Colorado, northwest to northern Wisconsin, east to the Maine/New Hampshire border and south to Florida and Texas (Donnelly 2004c). New York is near the northeastern range extent and P. obscurus was known historically from Suffolk County Long Island and, more recently, from the upper Hudson and Schroon Rivers. One of the historical Long Island occurrences, as well as the Hudson River population, were re-confirmed - as extant during the New York State Dragonfly and Damselfly Survey (NYDDS) while the Schroon River population was last documented in 1996, but has not been well surveyed in recent years. An additional pond in Suffolk County was added during the NYDDS (White et al. 2010). Both lentic and lotic habitats are occupied in different parts of New York. On Long Island, this species is found in small, shallow, sand-bottomed ponds (kettleholes) with shoreline beaches and emergent vegetation. In the upper Hudson watershed, forested medium-sized clean rivers with sandbars, moderate flow, and few boulders are characteristic of preferred habitat (White et al. 2010). I. Status a.
