The Belmira páramo complex in Colombia is home to Mesamphiagrion gaudiimontanum, an endemic and endangered damselfly species. This study presents the first demographic assessment of M. gaudiimontanum using the capture-recapture method to estimate population size, survival, and detection probabilities, focusing on differences in age, sex, female color morphs, and parasite infestation. The population size was estimated to be 730 ± 186.59 individuals, with an average survival probability of 0.89 ± 0.04 and a life expectancy of 8.34 days, these data are like the reported for other populations in the same genus in harsh environmental conditions. Ectoparasitic mites were more common on juveniles than adults. After several hours of observing the species few copula events have been recorded, all of them involving juvenile adult females, which points to a monandrous reproduction syndrome for the species. Another phenomenon observed in the species was a change in coloration due to body temperature in individuals, in which bright coloration becomes grayish in cold weather. This study provides fundamental data for future monitoring and conservation efforts, highlighting the species’ vulnerability to environmental changes and the need for specific conservation strategies.","PeriodicalId":50297,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Odonatology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141829687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The reproductive behavior of insects in tropical ecosystems, such as those belonging to the order Odonata, is as yet scarcely known. In this article, the reproductive behavior of Erythrodiplax abjecta is described from several localities in the Colombian Andean Mountains. Playing out between 10:00 and 14:30 h, male individuals of this species may exhibit either territorial or satellite behavior. Sexually mature males and females engage in tandem and copulation behaviors, which are brief and may occur either perched or in flight. Females of E. abjecta oviposit directly in the water at various times, alternating with periods of rest. During oviposition, males stand guard over females, perched or hovering, in a quest to protect them against other males. Conspecific males have been observed to engage in sieges of perching or ovipositing females, as well as mating pairs. Following a siege, either the female or the original pair flees, or the besieging male will succeed in outcompeting the original male, take the female in tandem, copulate with her, and then guard her while she oviposits. If the female flees, she may perch elsewhere, continue ovipositing, or may be taken by another male. The intense male guarding behavior during oviposition could represent an adaptation to temporarily high male densities at oviposition sites and a high level of competition during the short period in which active copulation takes place.","PeriodicalId":50297,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Odonatology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141010358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dragonflies and damselflies (collectively, “odonates”) have a history of being used as bioindicators of freshwater habitat quality due to their wide range in environmental sensitivities across species and because they are relatively accessible. However, the nymphal stage is severely understudied compared to the adult stage, which inhibits conservation efforts. Somatochlora calverti is a rare species of dragonfly in the family Corduliidae; members of the genus Somatochlora are notoriously difficult to find and collect in the field as nymphs and adults. Somatochlora calverti is known primarily from the Florida panhandle but has been documented in Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina. The nymph of this species is speculated to use seepage streams analogous to sympatric congeners; however, the nymph has never been collected in the field and, therefore, its specific microhabitat is unknown. We conducted a review from a suite of informational sources to generate a holistic consensus on what is defined to be suitable reproductive habitat for S. calverti. Sources identified eight major environmental characteristics that are likely to harbor S. calverti: shallow seepage streams, including steephead ravines, with undercut banks and mats of Sphagnum moss adjacent to intact sandhill forest. These ecosystems are being lost and degraded by anthropogenic activity, which has considerable impacts on the persistence of habitat specialists, including S. calverti, and managers’ ability to conserve them.","PeriodicalId":50297,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Odonatology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140371930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Disparate distributions typically reflect species responses to major historical events including past climate change, tectonics, dispersal, and local extinction. Paleo-ecological niche modeling (PaleoENM) has proven useful in inferring the causes of disjunct distributions within charismatic and well-studied taxa including mammals, plants, and birds, but remains under-explored in insects. The relictual Asian dragonfly genus Epiophlebia (Suborder Epiophlebioptera: Epiophlebiidae) allows us a novel opportunity to explore PaleoENM in the context of disjunct distributions due to their endemism to the Japanese islands, Himalayas, China, and North Korea. The aim of this paper is to investigate the potential causes behind the modern distribution of Epiophlebia by inferring the historical range of these species within the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), thereby highlighting the utility of PaleoENM in the context of odonate biogeography. Our results indicate possible past routes of gene flow of Epiophlebia during the LGM due to high habitat suitability of the genus stretching from the Himalayas to Japan. Furthermore, our results predict several unsampled areas which have the potential to harbor new populations of the genus.","PeriodicalId":50297,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Odonatology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140263940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the life history and seasonal regulation of Odonata, particularly gomphids, has been studied extensively, few studies have focused on North African gomphids. This study aims to contribute to the understanding of the life cycle of Onychogomphus forcipatus unguiculatus (Vander Linden, 1823), a western Mediterranean gomphid, on the Seybouse River in northeastern Algeria and discuss its seasonal regulation. Our results imply that a generation of O. f. unguiculatus requires two years to develop. The appearance of small (F-6) larvae in early spring can be attributed to the hatching of eggs in the previous year, followed by their overwintering in interstitial habitats. This abrupt appearance of small larvae is the result of their unique life history strategy of developing and surviving in specialized habitats during winter, then continuously growing and developing. The senior cohort overlaps with its junior counterpart, overwintering primarily in instars F-1, F-2, and, to a lesser extent, F-3, before beginning to emerge in late spring and early summer. By examining the voltinism and life cycle patterns of O. f. unguiculatus, this study contributes to our understanding of the reproductive strategies and population dynamics of this western Mediterranean gomphid, as well as of factors affecting the phenology and ecology of Odonata, particularly in North Africa, and in this manner contributes to overall efforts to protect and manage freshwater ecosystems in this region.","PeriodicalId":50297,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Odonatology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139624716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
