Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Biology of Dragonflies: Odonata or Paraneuroptera The principal object with which this volume has been written is to present as full and complete an account of the Biology of the Odonata as it is possible to offer in the present state of our knowledge of these insects. Thus the book is written primarily for biologists rather than systematists. More than ninety per cent. of the papers so far published on the Odonata have been chiefly systematic in their aim. The remainder are principally morphological, and form a valuable though somewhat small collection of facts on which a book of this kind must necessarily be based. During the last three years, I have fortunately been able to undertake a considerable amount of work on the internal anatomy of the Order, thereby not only confirming many points which were more or less in doubt, but also adding some new discoveries, and here and there rectifying errors. Most of this work has not yet been published, and will first see the light in the condensed form in which it appears in the present volume. It is hoped that the method of treatment followed in this book, by which the morphological, phylogenetic and physiological view-points have been correlated, in so far as our present knowledge allows, will enable students of the Odonata to take up any line of research on this interesting Order with a full knowledge of what has already been achieved. To this end, the Bibliography has been practically confined to those publications bearing on the biological study of the Order.

Download or read book Odonata Biology of Dragonflies written by B.K. Tyagi and published by Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2007-10-01 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dragonflies (Odonata), represented by over 6000 known species, are unique insects. In more than one feature they differ, at the very first glance, from all other insect superorders including their nearest allies, the mayflies (Ephemeropteroidea). The Zygoptera and Anisoptera, on the other hand, are the dominant groups. Being voracious predators in both immature (aquatic) and adult (aerial) stages they are important elements of all, except the drier (or high alpine) environments in temperate and tropical regions, occupying a position at the apex of the food chain of invertebrate life. Many dragonfly species are tested biological control agents for several disease-transmitting vector mosquitoes, especially Aedes species. They are also ideal organisms to be used as indicators of water pollution and contamination. Many species serve as intermediate hosts of fluke parasites of birds, and thus are important in the transmission of parasitic diseases, especially of domestic poultry and wild ducks. Because of their unique morphology and physiology, dragonflies are used extensively in the study of many biological phenomena. All these subjects are discussed in this unique book comprising twenty three articles written by expert odonatologists from different parts of the world. The book is written in a lucid and comprehensible language, and will likely be useful to both the professional and amateur alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Biology of Dragonflies: Odonata or Paraneuroptera The personal influence of de Selys reacted directly upon the next generation of students of the Odonata, and Shewed itself in an era of great activity and advancement in our knowledge of the Order. There were many, including Martin and Ris, who could proudly claim that they had sat at the feet of the master, and had been directly fired with his spirit of enthusiasm. The younger generation of Odonatologists, amongst whom I am proud to include myself, owe to these men what they in their time owed to de Selys. For the past twenty years, with unfailing courtesy and industry, they have placed their unrivalled knowledge at the disposal of all who sought it, and have lit afresh the flame of devotion which we trust will now be passed on to succeeding generations. Mainly owing to their endeavours, the systematic study of the Odonata has been brought up to a level of excellence not exceeded in any other Order; and thus the way is now paved for the biologists of the present and the future to pass on to the deeper studies of the morphology and physiology of the group, not by selecting, at a chance, any common type that happens to be convenient, but with full knowledge of the phylogenetic posit-ion of their regional fauna, and an added certainty as to the degree of specialization to be expected of the types they choose to study.

Download or read book Dragonflies and Damselflies written by Alex Cordoba-Aguilar and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-01-05 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research level text documents the latest advances in odonate biology and relates these to a broader ecological and evolutionary research agenda. Despite being one of the smallest insect orders, dragonflies offer a number of advantages for both laboratory and field studies. In fact, they continue to make a crucial contribution to the advancement of our broader understanding of insect ecology and evolution. This new edition provides a critical summary of the major advances in these fields. The editors have carefully assembled a fresh set of contributions from a diverse geographic mix of both junior and senior researchers in dragonfly biology to offer new perspectives and paradigms as well as additional, unpublished data. These include theoretical and applied chapters (including those addressing conservation and monitoring) as well as a balance of emerging (e.g. molecular evolution) and established research topics, providing suggestions for future study in each case. This accessible text is not about dragonflies per se but is an essential source of knowledge that describes how different sets of evolutionary and ecological principles and ideas have been tested on a particular taxon. Dragonflies and Damselflies is suitable for graduate students and researchers in entomology, evolutionary biology, population and behavioural ecology, community ecology, and conservation biology. It will be of particular interest and use to those working on insects and an indispensable reference text for odonate biologists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost without our noticing, dragonflies dart through our world, flying, seeing, hunting, mating. Their lives are as mysterious as their gossamer wings are beautiful. In this book Pieter van Dokkum reveals many of the dragonfly’s secrets, capturing the stages of this striking insect’s life cycle in unprecedented close-up photographs. He documents scenes of dragonfly activity seldom witnessed and rarely photographed. The book begins on a moonlit summer night, when an alien-looking larva crawls out of the water and transforms into a fully formed dragonfly. In the following chapters we witness dew-covered dragonflies sparkling in the morning sun, then a pair of mating dragonflies moving through the air in a twelve-legged, eight-winged dance. In the final chapter, one generation dies as the next prepares to leave the water and begin its own winged journey. Each stage is documented through van Dokkum’s inquisitive lens and accompanied by information on various species of dragonflies and damselflies, their metamorphosis, and their ecological importance as insect predators.
