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. -
Recent Range Shifts of European Dragonflies Provide Support for An

Methods Our analyses are based on odonate distribution maps from two field guides that present the European ranges of dragonflies and damselflies in 1988 and 2006. We categorized species according to their preference for lentic or lotic habi- tats, and then assigned each species to a southern or a northern group according to the centre of its distribution. Shifts in northern range boundaries were calculated as the average distance between the 10 northernmost grid cells in 1988 and 2006. Range boundary shifts were also analysed with regard to prevalence, phenology, body size and wing size. Results Lentic species of the southern group expanded their range boundaries on average 115 km northwards per decade, whereas lotic species of the southern group on average did not change their range boundaries. -
An Anomalous Connection in the Genus Aeshna Fabricius, 1775 (Odonata: Aeshnidae) with an Additional Record of Aeshna Cyanea (Müller, 1764) from Turkish Thrace
Acta entomologica serbica, 2010, 15(1): 1-6 UDC 595.733(560) AN ANOMALOUS CONNECTION IN THE GENUS AESHNA FABRICIUS, 1775 (ODONATA: AESHNIDAE) WITH AN ADDITIONAL RECORD OF AESHNA CYANEA (MÜLLER, 1764) FROM TURKISH THRACE NURTEN HACET Trakya University, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Department of Biology, TR-22030 Edirne, Turkey E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A heterospecific tandem between a male Aeshna affinis Vander Linden, 1820 and a female Aeshna cyanea (Müller, 1764) is reported from İğneada (Longos Forest) in Kırklareli province in the Turkish Thrace Region. The locality, where the tandem was observed, is the second recording locality for A. cyanea from the region. KEY WORDS: Odonata, dragonfly, heterospecific tandem, Aeshnidae, Aeshna, Turkish Thrace, Turkey Introduction Recent studies have indicated that heterospecific tandems within Odonata are not unusual (BICK & BICK, 1981; UTZERI & BELFIORE, 1990; CORBET, 1999). However, the difficulty in detection of females in heterospecific pairs for some genera restricts the number of records of such pairs (BICK & BICK, 1981; CORBET, 1999). Thus, it is probable that there are unreported or unpublished records of heterospecific pairs among dragonflies, and it is possible that the total number of all records is greater than the amount of available data. Heterosexual heterospecific tandems were recorded and observed more often in Anisoptera than Zygoptera, and most of the known records showed that heterospecific pairs consist of individuals of the same genus (CORBET, 1999). Aeshnidae from Anisoptera is one of the families for which heterospecific pairings were recorded, and Sympetrum and Gomphus are Anisopteran genera including the highest record numbers of mixed pairings (BICK & BICK, 1981; CORBET, 1999). -

However, other spp. with nearly transparent wings (especially certain Gomphidae) Pruinose also had strong UV absorption. body regions reflected UV but the standard acetone treatment for color preservation dissolves thewax particles of the pruinosity and destroys UV reflectivity.

British Dragonfly Society Sussex Group Newsletter Winter! 2019
British Dragonfly Society Sussex Group Newsletter Winter! 2019 No 43 Expect the Unexpected By John Arnott Chichester Natural History Society members have been monitoring dragonflies at RSPB Medmerry since summer 2014, soon after it was flooded in autumn 2013. As many people know, this newly created wetland complex was designed primarily as a coastal flood mitigation system but with many natural habitat features built in. On the western edge is a complex of runoff channels with many bends and interconnected pools, all providing ideal habitat for dragonflies. Six years on and the channel system has become filled with a lush growth of aquatic plants domi- nated by tall emergents such as Branched Bur-reed Sparganium erectum, Reed Sweet-grass Glyceria maxima and Water-plantain Alisma plantago-aquatica together with submerged aquatics, in particu- lar, dense mats of Spiked Water-milfoil Myriophyllum spicatum. The management priority here is for Water Vole Arvicola amphibius so good aquatic plant growth is encouraged. too I’ve always thought that Med- merry would be in the front line for migrant species of dragonfly from the Continent. We rec- orded our first sightings of Small Red-eyed Damselfly Eryth- romma viridulum on 1st August 2014 but since then it has been quiet as far as migrant dragon- flies are concerned. Sussex Dragonfly Society Newsletter Continued ... I’ve always been a keen follower of Adrian Parr’s Migrant Dragonflies Facebook page and before every survey I spend time going through his books to remind myself what migrants to look out for. On 5th July this year we arrived at the RSPB Medmerry car park at Earnley in good time to meet other members of Chichester NHS and have lunch before our first dragonfly survey of the season. -

DNA Barcoding of Selected Dragonfly Species (Libellulidae and Aeshnidae) for Species Authentication with Phylogenetic Assessment

Knowledge and studies on the diversity of dragonflies in India is very high. Identification by traditional taxonomy often leads to misidentification. Incidence of sexual dimorphism is found to be high particularly in the Libellulidae and Aeshnidae family. In order to resolve the above mentioned problem, the accurate identification of the dragonflies was carried out by DNA barcoding using COI gene. In the present study, selected dragonfly species (Bradinopyga geminata, Crocothemis servilia, Diplacodes trivialis and Anaciaeschna jaspidea) of the family of Libellulidae and Aeshnidae were taken and along with three other evident species (Pantala flavescens, Orthetrum sabina, and Brachythemis contaminata) were retrieved from GenBank. The phylogenetic tree was created using NJ (Neighbour Joining) method to determine the origin and evolutionary relationships of the species. Similarity search was performed and conformed species were submitted to the NCBI and BOLD database for species authentication. The present study concluded that the DNA barcoding is an invaluable tool for the authentication of the species. Storage of this nucleotide information in a database like BOLD would greatly help in the identification up to sub species level. -

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. -
