With its size, they belong to the largest representatives of the European fauna of dragonflies. However, due to their life and habitat, such as forest ecosystems or forest habitats, they are among species with only partial knowledge of species occurrence in Europe and their bionomy. Just in this group that many interesting discoveries have been made over the last ten years - as descriptions of new species Cordulegaster

Biología de Organismos y Sistemas, University of Oviedo, Spain (Dr. Francisco J. Ocharan) RESEARCH INTERESTS I am a behavioral ecologist, interested in the micro- and macroevolutionary processes that promote diversity. 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.

The study encompassed various lotic karst habitats (springs, mountainous rivers, streams, tufa barriers) and microhabitats (angiosperms, mosses, cobbles, sand, silt with leaf litter). The aims of the study were to identify dragonfly composition, abundance and spatial distribution, their habitat and microhabitat preferences, and to determine the most important environmental factors explaining dragonfly assemblages in the studied hydrosystem. The dragonfly fauna was composed of eight species, Onychogomphus forcipatus (Linnaeus, 1758) was the most widespread and the most numerous. Water temperature, ammonium and oxygen concentrations had the highest influence on dragonfly assemblages. The most favorable habitat type were tufa barriers, less favorable were lower lotic habitats, while dragonflies were almost completely absent from upper lotic habitats and their springs. Dragonfly larvae preferred microhabitats with inorganic substrates (i.e. cobbles and sand) and slower water velocity, while they mostly avoided mosses associated with the strongest current. This study provides an important contribution to the knowledge of dragonfly ecology in lotic habitats of the Dinaric karst. Keywords: Odonata / case study / tufa barriers / environmental factors / microhabitats freshwater habitats (Corbet, 1993; Moore, 1997; Mortimeret al., 1 Introduction 1998).Bothlarvae andadultsare generalist predatorsthat mainly feed on various small invertebrates.

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.

Hlinku 2, SK-949 76 e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: A golden-ringed dragonfly (Odonata, Cordulegastridae) is represented by two species Cordulegaster bidentata and C. heros in the territory of Slovakia. As for both species, we evaluated hypsometry of their occurrence, the habitat preferences and the structure of the odonatocenoses. The dataset for C. bidentata species consists of 103 sites and C. heros species is from 124 localities. C. bidentata is evenly spread in the mountainous areas of Slovakia. C. heros has had the discontinuous occurrence in the Male Karpaty Mts. and Slovenské rudohorie Mts. The average altitude of localities of the C. bidentata is 563.3 m a. s. l., nevertheless for the C. heros it is 304.5 m. The significant habitat factors of examined species (p = 0.05) are altitude, the forest margin, the fens with watersurface, epirithron and hyporithron respectively. The golden-ringed dragonfly has been examined together with other 15 species, but only on peat marshes there were 13 nonreproduced ones. The Cordulegaster heros larvae occur together only with C. bidentata and Calopteryx virgo larvae. Our results proved the published habitat preferences of C. bidentata and C. heros in Slovakia.

There are approximately 700 species of crayfish worldwide. Of the 10 crayfish species known in Michigan, eight of them are native and two are invasive. All of Michigan’s crayfish are part of the family Cambaridae that are broken up into three distinct groups based on their preferred habitat: primary burrowers, secondary burrowers and tertiary burrowers. Additionally, North American Cambarid crayfishes are unique in that all males seasonally alternate between reproductive (Form I) and non-reproductive (Form II) states. The reproductive Form I male has unique changes to body shape which can be used to make positive species identifications. Despite relatively low crayfish species richness in Michigan, each of the state’s eight native species lives in, and contributes to, wetlands and aquatic ecosystems in important and unique ways.
