Most insects have a complex life cycle with ecologically different larval and adult stages. We
present an ontogenetic perspective to analyze and summarize the complex life cycle of …

Emigration is a fundamental process affecting species' local, regional, and large-scale
dynamics. The paradigmatic view in ecology is that emigration is density independent (DIE) …

Agricultural intensification has contributed to severe declines in odonate (dragonfly and
damselfly) populations. Odonates require healthy waterbodies for their larval stages and …

Dispersal is an important process for any organism, but especially for endangered species
in fragmented landscapes. To enhance the dispersal of a certain species, connectivity …

Aquatic insects like dragonflies and damselflies link the aquatic and terrestrial world through
their life-cycle. Adults and larvae are frequently regarded as indicators of good …

Deforestation and forest fragmentation are important drivers of global biodiversity loss and
negatively impact ecosystem health and landscape continuity. One approach to reducing …

Accurate data on dispersal ability are vital to the understanding of how species are affected
by fragmented landscapes. However, three factors may limit the ability of field studies to …

The suitability of any location for a given species is determined by the available resources.
However, there are many species that occur in more than one habitat type and their …

Ischnura pumilio is threatened in the UK and its habitat requirements are not well
understood. This study tests previously held notions of the habitat requirements of I. pumilio …

Abstract Coenagrion hylas (Trybom, 1899) has a very limited distribution in Europe, lives in
very small, isolated populations, has rather specialised habitat demands, and is regarded as …
