We aimed: (i) to investigate the distribution patterns of Odonata in streams on a nationwide scale across South Korea; (ii) to evaluate the relationships between the distribution patterns of odonates and their environmental conditions; and (iii) to identify indicator species and the most significant environmental factors affecting their distributions. Samples were collected from 965 sampling sites in streams across South Korea. We also measured 34 environmental variables grouped into six categories: geography, meteorology, land use, substrate composition, hydrology, and physicochemistry.

    Sand pit for Biodiversity at Cep II quarry Researcher: Klára Řehounková Research group: Petr Bogusch, David Boukal, Milan Boukal, Lukáš Čížek, František Grycz, Petr Hesoun, Kamila Lencová, Anna Lepšová, Jan Máca, Pavel Marhoul, Klára Řehounková, Jiří Řehounek, Lenka Schmidtmayerová, Robert Tropek Březen – září 2012 Abstract We compared the effect of restoration status (technical reclamation, spontaneous succession, disturbed succession) on the communities of vascular plants and assemblages of arthropods in CEP II sand pit (T řebo ňsko region, SW part of the Czech Republic) to evaluate their biodiversity and conservation potential. We also studied the experimental restoration of psammophytic grasslands to compare the impact of two near-natural restoration methods (spontaneous and assisted succession) to establishment of target species. The sand pit comprises stages of 2 to 30 years since site abandonment with moisture gradient from wet to dry habitats. In all studied groups, i.e. vascular pants and arthropods, open spontaneously revegetated sites continuously disturbed by intensive recreation activities hosted the largest proportion of target and endangered species which occurred less in the more closed spontaneously revegetated sites and which were nearly absent in technically reclaimed sites. Out results provide clear evidence that the mosaics of spontaneously established forests habitats and open sand habitats are the most valuable stands from the conservation point of view. It has been documented that no expensive technical reclamations are needed to restore post-mining sites which can serve as secondary habitats for many endangered and declining species. The experimental restoration of rare and endangered plant communities seems to be efficient and promising method for a future large-scale restoration projects in abandoned sand pits.

    nature needs more explorers What sixty new dragonfly and damselfly species from Africa can say about the state of our most critical resource and the exploration of life. Klaas-Douwe B. Dijkstra, Jens Kipping & Nicolas Mézière (1 December 2015) Sixty new dragonfly and damselfly species from Africa (Odonata). Odonatologica 44: 447-678 By naming 60 new dragonflies at once, we want to show that a biologist’s greatest importance today is to provide the names and knowledge needed to add all life to the human conscience. We do so by challenging three common misconceptions about biodiversity: 1. that most of Earth’s species are known to us 2. that the remaining unknown species are hidden and detectable only by genetics 3. that enough effort is being made in the field to uncover the unknown in time We demonstrate this with some of the most sensitive and beautiful of all biodiversity: 1. freshwater — Earth’s most dense and threatened species richness 2. Africa — the continent that will change most in the 21st century 3. dragonflies — the insects that could The new Sarep Sprite Pseudagrion sarepi was named be the best gauge of global change after the SAREP expedition to eastern Angola. Mankind knows just 20% of the 9 million species of animal, plant, fungus and protist thought to inhabit our planet. With 6000 species named, dragonflies and damselflies were regarded as well-known. The 60 new dragonflies described now are the most to be named at once in a century, adding 1 species to every 12 known in Africa. Their beauty and sensitivity can raise awareness for freshwater biodiversity, the densest and most threatened on earth.

VARIATIONS IN THE DRAGONFLY MICROBIOME THROUGH LIFESTAGES AND ITS ABILITY TO HARBOR ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANT BACTERIA A Thesis presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master’s of Science in the Biology Department The University of Mississippi by Sarah Russell May 2019 Copyright Ó 2019 by Sarah Russell All rights reserved Abstract Juvenile dragonflies (nymphs) may possess the ability to pass their microbiome to the adult life stage through metamorphosis. If this is so, the environment in which the nymph develops may have an effect on the adult microbiome. In this study, the gut microbiomes of 13 species of dragonfly were compared across life stages and when collected from environments at different levels of urbanization. The gut of each dragonfly was removed, DNA extracted, and a portion of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene amplified and sequenced.

    277 Ophiogomphus caudoforcipus Yousuf & Yunus, 1977, is a synonym of Ophiogomphus reductus Calvert, 1898 Vincent J. Kalkman Naturalis Biodiversity Center, P.O. Box 9517, 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands; [email protected] Abstract. Ophiogomphus caudoforcipus Yousuf & Yunus, 1977, is only known from a single male collected on 04-viii-1966 at Mingora (Pakistan). Based on a comparison between the description and material of O. reductus at the RMNH it is concluded that O. caudoforcipus is a junior synonym of O. reductus. Further key words.

Kalkman1 & Vladimir Blagoderov2 1 Naturalis Biodiversity Center, P.O. Box 9517, 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands; vincent. [email protected] 2 National Museums Scotland, P.O. Box EH1 1JF, Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom; [email protected] Abstract. No new information on Pseudagrion bidentatum has been published since its origi- nal description by Morton in 1907 based on a single male from western India. Although this species was already regarded as a synonym of either P. hypermelas Selys, 1876, or P. spencei Fraser, 1922, by Fraser in 1933 it was still treated as a valid species on later checklists. Based on a study of the original description and the holotype held at the National Scottish Museum, Edinburgh, we conclude that P. bidentatum is a junior synonym of P. hypermelas. Further key words.
