Dragonfly Assemblages in Arid Tropical Environments: A Case Study from Western Namibia (2005, background): “There are several recent approaches to assess and compare dragonfly communities and species richness in relation to habitat in the tropics (Cleary et al. 2004) and particularly in Africa (Samways and Steyler 1996; Clausnitzer 2003; Dijkstra and Lempert 2003).”
Global diversity of dragonflies (Odonata) in freshwater (2007, background): “…well suited for use in evaluating environmental change in the long term (biogeography, climatology) and in the short term (conservation biology), both above and below the water surface (e.g., Clark & Samways, 1996; Sahlén & Ekestubbe, 2001; Clausnitzer, 2003; Foote & Hornung, 2005; Osborn, 2005).”
Spatial scale of observation affects α, β and γ diversity of cavity‐nesting bees and wasps across a tropical land‐use gradient (2006, background): “We expect this will lead to higher b diversity in unmanaged systems than in the agricultural landuse types (Clausnitzer, 2003).”
Odonata enter the biodiversity crisis debate: The first global assessment of an insect group (2009, background): “…if we are to better understand the status of biodiversity in freshwater ecosystems then odonates provide an excellent easy-to-use indicator group (clausnitzer 2004, sahlén & ekestubbe 2001, samways & steytler 1996, suhling et al. 2006) with which to start. specific conservation action plans for…”
