Do dragonflies migrate across the western Indian Ocean? (2009, background): “For the larger dragonfly species, the smaller dragonflies themselves might provide food: Anax ephippiger (Burmeister) is known to prey upon P. flavescens during joint migration in the Gambia (Corbet 2004).”
Distribution trends of European dragonflies under climate change (2019, result): “This is in line with the well‐known ability of dragonflies to quickly colonize new habitats (Corbet, 1999).”
Ecological traps for dragonflies in a cemetery: the attraction of Sympetrum species (Odonata: Libellulidae) by horizontally polarizing black gravestones (2007, background): “This corresponds to the general rule that ectothermic dragonflies, for thermoregulatory reasons, usually prefer sunlit places (Corbet, 1999, pp. 285–291).”
Dragonfly associations (Insecta: Odonata) in relation to habitat variables: a multivariate approach (2003, background): “…are habitat heterogeneity, expressed inter alia by the quality and quantity of aquatic and semi-aquatic plant communities, shoreline structures, hydrological features and sun exposure (Dumont, 1971; Banse & Banse 1985; Buchwald, 1989; Lenz, 1991; Moore, 1991; Wildermuth, 1994; Corbet, 1999).”
Atlas of the Odonata of the Mediterranean and North Africa (2009, neutral): “1999; SAMRAOUI & CORBET 2000; SAMRAOUI et al. 2003). All published information has been included in the database, which provides a fairly good knowledge of species distribution from 1980 onwards. Recent unpublished records by BS (2007) have been added as well.”
Odonata enter the biodiversity crisis debate: The first global assessment of an insect group (2009, background): “…a particularly good group for evaluating habitat connectivity. in summary, odonata are an easyto-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). methods”
The dragonfly delusion: why it is essential to sample exuviae to avoid biased surveys (2010, background): “not be able to reach the final instar (Corbet 1999).”
Behaviour and growth of dragonfly larvae along a permanent to temporary water habitat gradient (2004, background): “Pantala flavescens and Sympetrum fonscolombii are obligate seasonal migrants (sensu Corbet, 1999) that are frequently encountered in large aggregations during migration (cf. Corbet, 1999).”
Historical changes in the phenology of British Odonata are related to climate (2007, methodology): “Similar advances in phenology would be expected for species that overwinter in the final instar (‘spring species’; Corbet, 1954) due to threshold temperatures (which, along with long photoperiods, constitute permissive conditions for metamorphosis (Corbet, 1999)) occurring earlier.”
PAPER Recent range shifts of European dragonflies provide support for an inverse relationship between habitat predictability and dispersal (2013, background): “Temperature is probably responsible for the recent range expansions of freshwater animals, in particular for odonates (Corbet, 2004).”
Sperm competition in Odonata (Insecta): the evolution of female sperm storage and rivals' sperm displacement (2003, background): “…(intermediate; common in fossils, but with only two living species), are one of the animal groups in which sperm competition has been more intensively studied and whose copulatory mechanisms are better understood (Simmons & Siva-Jothy, 1998; Corbet, 1999; Simmons, 2001; Cordero Rivera, 2002).”
Voltinism flexibility of a riverine dragonfly along thermal gradients (2008, background): “Typically, in odonates the seasonal regulation is achieved by a two-phase photoperiodic reaction operating on the larval stage (Norling, 1984; see review in Corbet, 1999: 230).”
A field study of larval development in a dragonfly assemblage in African desert ponds (Odonata) (2004, methodology): “This method is useful for comparing species with longer life-cycles, i.e. univoltine or partivoltine species (cf. Corbet, 1999).”
The effects of environmental warming on Odonata: a review (2008, background): “Desiccation is a primary cause of egg mortality (Corbet 2004) and so for species lacking such adaptations, reduced water permanence will reduce recruitment.”
Odonates as Indicators of Shallow Lake Restoration by Liming: Comparing Adult and Larval Responses (2004, background): “Dragonflies (Odonata) have been widely proposed as indicators of environmental quality in aquatic ecosystems (Samways 1993; Chovanec & Waringer 2001) for wellknown reasons (Corbet 1993, 1999; Samways 1993; Chovanec & Raab 1997).”
The impacts of habitat disturbance on adult and larval dragonflies (Odonata) in rainforest streams in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo (2017, background): “…hotter than in forest (Hardwick et al., 2015) and Odonata eggs and larvae can be sensitive to high temperatures (e.g. © 2017 The Authors Freshwater Biology Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd., Freshwater Biology, 62, 491–506 Corbet, 1999; Clausnitzer et al., 2009), potentially causing low survival.”
Global diversity of dragonflies (Odonata) in freshwater (2007, background): “, 2004) and they are often used as indicators for environmental health and conservation management (Corbet, 1999).”
