The impacts of habitat disturbance on adult and larval dragonflies (Odonata) in rainforest streams in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo (2017, background): “vegetation (Corbet, 1999; Cordoba-Aguiler, 2008), and changes in these features may therefore also change”
Adult Odonata conservatism as an indicator of freshwater wetland condition (2014, background): “Adult odonates are conspicuous over water and relatively easy to identify at the species level (Bried et al., 2012a; Oertli, 2008; Raebel et al., 2010), and may be especially well suited for broad and integrative assessments of the wetland breeding site and surrounding landscape (Bried and Ervin, 20”
Dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata) in urban ecosystems: A review (2016, background): “…environment; (b) they are aquatic as larvae and terrestrial as adults, hence can be used as bioindicators in both aquatic and terrestrial habitats (Oertli, 2008); (c) they have an important role as predators, hence have a wide range of interactions with different organisms in both aquatic and…”
An easy-to-use index of ecological integrity for prioritizing freshwater sites and for assessing habitat quality (2009, background): “This is an extension of the fact that odonates can be used as indicators of freshwater health (Oertli 2008), ecological integrity (Smith et al. 2007; Chovanec and Waringer 2001), and global climate change (Ott 2008).”
Distribution trends of European dragonflies under climate change (2019, methodology): “Furthermore, dragonflies are well established as useful organisms to assess and monitor aquatic and wetland ecosystem quality (Oertli, 2008), and they are known to react quickly to cli‐ mate change (Bush, Theischinger, Nipperess, Turak, & Hughes, 2013; Hassall, 2015).”
Neotropical dragonflies (Insecta: Odonata) as indicators of ecological condition of small streams in the eastern Amazon (2015, background): “Odonates have relatively long lives (up to 1 year in the tropics) (Stoks & Córdoba-Aguilar 2012), are broadly distributed in aquatic systems (Corbet 1999; Dolný et al. 2012), and have biphasic lifestyles with aquatic larvae and terrestrial/aerial adults (Oertli 2008).”
