Thermal ecology of Interior Alaska dragonflies (Odonata: Anisoptera)
1. We examined the thermal ecology of Interior Alaska dragonflies (Odonata: Anisoptera). The relationships between mass and passive cooling rate, wing loading, minimum flight temperature (MFT) and thermoregulating ability were examined. These properties were also compared between the behavioural classes: perchers and fliers. All factors with the addition of seasonal and daily flight activity we...
متن کاملThermoregulating Ability and Minimum Flight Temperature in Interior Alaska Dragonflies (odonata: Anisoptera) Recommended:
The use of operative environmental temperature (Te) has been a major advance in the study of thermal ecology. I review the use of operative temperature in thermal biology with an emphasis on insects. Then I use data from dragonflies in Interior Alaska (Odonata: Anisoptera) to compare the efficacy of operative and ambient temperature when examining thermoregulating ability. I conclude that altho...
متن کاملDragonfly cyclovirus, a novel single-stranded DNA virus discovered in dragonflies (Odonata: Anisoptera).
Dragonfly cyclovirus (DfCyV), a new species of ssDNA virus discovered using viral metagenomics in dragonflies (family Libellulidae) from the Kingdom of Tonga. Metagenomic sequences of DfCyV were similar to viruses of the recently proposed genus Cyclovirus within the family Circoviridae. Specific PCRs resulted in the recovery of 21 DfCyV genomes from three dragonfly species (Pantala flavescens, ...
متن کاملDragonflies (Odonata) from South-Eastern Iran
Twenty-seven species of Odonata were collected in the present survey in the freshwaters of South-Eastern Iran, Kerman province, in contrast to 11 species that were recorded previously from this region. In this study, 528 specimens were collected from more than 30 sites in Kerman province during 2006-2008. It seems that in this region due to its special biogeographic conditions, species diversit...
متن کاملSpiracle Control in Adult Dragonflies (odonata)
Hoyle (i960) has recently shown that carbon dioxide has a direct action on the closer muscle of spiracle 2 of the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria Forskal, reducing the electrical responses and the tension developed. Nevertheless, except in flight, the valve movements are nearly always synchronized with ventilation, and it seems unlikely that this action of carbon dioxide plays much part in...
