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.

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.

One major reason for this is that several ecological and phylogeny; evolutionary traits may jointly shape species’ differences in range size. We range size; here present an integrated study of the contribution of ecological (dispersal Rapoport’s rule. capacity, body size and latitudinal position) and macroevolutionary (species’ age) traits in shaping variation in species’ range size in Coenagrion damsel- flies. We reconstructed the phylogenetic tree of this genus to account for evolutionary history when assessing the contribution of the ecological traits and to evaluate the role of the macroevolutionary trait (species’ age). The genus invaded the Nearctic twice independently from the Palearctic, yet this was not associated with the evolution of larger range sizes or dispersal capacity.

Since life cycles of two species are displaced, it is such displacement facilitates coexistence by reducing food competition. INTRODUCTION Although many studies have been carried out to describe lestid autecology, little informationexists on the ecological relationships among coexisting species conditions. in natural This paper reports on investigations into resource partitioning between two coexisting Lestes species, i.e. L. virens (Charp.) and L. barbarus (Fab.). The fact that the live in a small two species are morphologically very similar, pond which contains water for only a short period, where no other Zygoptera exist and where there are fewer predators than in permanent habitats, would imply a remarkable overlap of respective niches. The fact that the two Lestes populations are abundant and well-established is, therefore, to be ascribed to mechanisms that make coexistence possible. On the basis ofworks by BENKE & BENKE (1975), JOHANNSSON (1978) and JOHNSON & CROWLEY (1980), these mechanisms are thought to consist of spatial, temporal and/or food resource partitioning.

  • Invertebrate Animals (Metazoa: Invertebrata) of the Atanasovsko Lake, Bulgaria
    Historia naturalis bulgarica, 22: 45-71, 2015 Invertebrate Animals (Metazoa: Invertebrata) of the Atanasovsko Lake, Bulgaria Zdravko Hubenov, Lyubomir Kenderov, Ivan Pandourski Abstract: The role of the Atanasovsko Lake for storage and protection of the specific faunistic diversity, characteristic of the hyper-saline lakes of the Bulgarian seaside is presented. The fauna of the lake and surrounding waters is reviewed, the taxonomic diversity and some zoogeographical and ecological features of the invertebrates are analyzed. The lake system includes from freshwater to hyper-saline basins with fast changing environment. A total of 6 types, 10 classes, 35 orders, 82 families and 157 species are known from the Atanasovsko Lake and the surrounding basins. They include 56 species (35.7%) marine and marine-brackish forms and 101 species (64.3%) brackish-freshwater, freshwater and terrestrial forms, connected with water. For the first time, 23 species in this study are established (12 marine, 1 brackish and 10 freshwater). The marine and marine- brackish species have 4 types of ranges – Cosmopolitan, Atlantic-Indian, Atlantic-Pacific and Atlantic. The Atlantic (66.1%) and Cosmopolitan (23.2%) ranges that include 80% of the species, predominate. Most of the fauna (over 60%) has an Atlantic-Mediterranean origin and represents an impoverished Atlantic-Mediterranean fauna. The freshwater-brackish, freshwater and terrestrial forms, connected with water, that have been established from the Atanasovsko Lake, have 2 main types of ranges – species, distributed in the Palaearctic and beyond it and species, distributed only in the Palaearctic. The representatives of the first type (52.4%) predomi- nate. They are related to the typical marine coastal habitats, optimal for the development of certain species.
