Ecological traps for dragonflies in a cemetery: the attraction of Sympetrum species (Odonata: Libellulidae) by horizontally polarizing black gravestones (2007, background): “Hence, we conclude that the Sympetrum species observed are polarotactic, as are many other aquatic insects (Schwind, 1991; Horváth & Varjú, 2003; Csabai et al., 2006; Kriska et al., 2006).”
Aerial dispersal of aquatic invertebrates along and away from arid-land streams (2012, background): “Additionally, aerial dispersers may be more likely to fly at times of day with maximum reflectivity of light off water, which enhances the detectability of potential colonization sites (Csabai et al. 2006).”
