The status and distribution of dragonflies of the Mediterranean basin (2009, background): “With 5,680 species, dragonflies are a relatively small order of insects (Kalkman et al. 2008), and most of these species are found in the tropics.”
Redefining the damselfly families: a comprehensive molecular phylogeny of Zygoptera (Odonata) (2014, background): “, 2011) and include two suborders of almost 3000 species each, the Zygoptera or damselflies and the Anisoptera or true dragonflies, and a third suborder, the Anisozygoptera or damseldragons with only four species (Kalkman et al., 2008; Dijkstra et al., 2013).”
PAPER Recent range shifts of European dragonflies provide support for an inverse relationship between habitat predictability and dispersal (2013, background): “Odonates are well suited for such investigations as they are one of the best-known taxa of freshwater insects and invertebrates in general (e.g. Corbet, 2004; Kalkman et al., 2008; Clausnitzer et al., 2009) and many of their life-history traits are affected by temperature (Hassall & Thompson, 2008).”
Focus on African freshwaters: hotspots of dragonfly diversity and conservation concern (2012, background): “org © The Ecological Society of America forests being especially species-rich; and (4) taxonomically well-studied globally, in comparison to other invertebrate groups (Kalkman et al. 2008; Clausnitzer et al. 2009).”
Odonata enter the biodiversity crisis debate: The first global assessment of an insect group (2009, background): “In summary, Odonata are an easy-to-study group and are useful for monitor the overall biodiversity of aquatic habitats and have been identified as good indicators of environmental health (Corbet, 1999; Kalkman et al., 2008 ).”
Odonata (Insecta) as a tool for the biomonitoring of environmental quality (2017, background): “These insects occupy the interface between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems and are highly sensitive to environmental changes (Carvalho et al., 2013; Monteiro-Júnior et al., 2013; Oliveira Junior et al., 2015), and are extremely diverse in tropical regions (Kalkman et al., 2008).”
The impacts of habitat disturbance on adult and larval dragonflies (Odonata) in rainforest streams in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo (2017, methodology): “With currently available data, the highest levels of species richness and endemism occur in stream habitats in mixed dipterocarp forest in North Borneo (Kalkman et al., 2008); however, it must be”
The classification and diversity of dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata) (2013, background): “It is estimated that between 1000 and 1500 species still await description (Kalkman et al. 2008).”
Aquatic insects indicate terrestrial habitat degradation: changes in taxonomical structure and functional diversity of dragonflies in tropical rainforest of East Kalimantan (2012, background): “Odonates have proven useful for nature management and conservation, and recently there is increased effort to make information on dragonflies available for both scientists and policymakers (Kalkman et al. 2008).”
