“…Some authors have differentiated between genera and species of odonates by combining morphological data and molecular analyses (Torres-Pachón et al, 2017;Baskinger et al, 2008;Hovmöller & Johansson, 2003). In B. irene Kohli et al (2014) found that the populations present in NW Spain (Galicia) could be genetically differentiated from those of the rest of the Iberian Peninsula but these researchers did not compare biometric data. If the three measures that we propose in this work are valid for the population of Galicia, it is something that requires further research.…”

In species of similar shape and size, biometric analyses make it possible to establish differences. Within one species, biometrics can help researchers to detect differences between populations and analyze their adaptations to environmental conditions. Until now little was known about the biometrics of the Iberian populations of Boyeria irene (Odonata: Aeshnidae), a large species living mainly in southern Europe. Eight biometric variables were studied in male and female exuviae of B. irene collected in three rivers of the Iberian Peninsula, with the objective of ascertaining which are the most suitable populations of this species to study. An analysis of principal components (PCA) shows that lengths of the epiproct, paraproct and prementum are the most influential in each of the three populations. The other variables (head width, body length, length of the gonapophyses, maximum and minimum width of the prementum) proved not to be relevant in this context.

“…Similar study was carried out by Bybee et al (2008) and Carle et al (2015) have conducted the Phylogenetic studies of Anisoptera and recorded the evolutionary relationship of Anax and Aeshna as supported values (MLB=78%, BPP=99%) and (BP =20, PP=27) respectively. Similarly, Saux et al (2003) conducted phylogenetic study of Aeshnidae while, Kohli et al (2014) conducted study on genus Boyeria using morphological and molecular markers. Whereas many previous workers studied the molecular characterizations of odonata including members of Aeshnidae i.e., (Misof et al 2000;Artiss et al 2001;Misof et al 2001;Hesgawa et al 2006;Ware et al 2008;Elizabeth et al 2011;Kim et al 2014;Bybee et al 2016;Das 2016;Suvorov 2018;Kalavanti and Jethva 2019).…”

Current study was conducted on family Aeshnidae from Hazara region of Pakistan. During the survey a total of 125 members were collected and identified into 2 species under single genus. The present study focuses on molecular characterizations and phylogenetics of family Aeshnidae. Phylogenies of the analyzed taxa were elaborated with maximum likelihood, maximum parsimony and Bayesian analysis. We sequenced both mitochondrial genes i.e., COI and 16S rRNA, separate and combined CO1+16S data sets revealed evolutionary relationship within Aeshnidae at the species and genera level. Mean Pairwise Distances (MPD) of each species were ranged from 0.00 to 84.60%. Evolutionary rate differences among two categories Gamma distribution and Invariant were recorded as 0.07 and 1.20 substitutions per site. DNA based identification using CO1, 16S and combined CO1+16S data set, for all Aeshnidae species shared genetic similarities having bootstrap values MLB=70–100%, MPB= 52–100% and BPP=0.75–1% respectively. The analysis of the combined (COI+16S) data set produced trees with complete stronger bootstrap support than analyses of either gene alone. These findings had shown that the taxonomic position of Aeshnidae species based on morphological characters could be verified, further improved and confirmed by the use of modern molecular biological tools which involve the nucleotide sequences of genes used in phylogenetic investigations. © 2021 Friends Science Publishers

“…Molecular analysis and phylogenetic reconstruction DNA extraction and sequencing DNA was extracted from one leg of each adult dragonfly using a GeneJet Genomic DNA Purification kit (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, USA). Three genes were amplified: mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI); hypervariable D7 region of the large-subunit 28S (rDNA) (28S); and nuclear Histone 3 (H3), using PCR according to Kohli's et al (2014) protocol. We selected two mitochondrial and one nuclear gene based on their diverse evolutionary rates, to allow us to reconstruct both internal and external branches, respectively (Fritz et al, 1994).…”

The status of Rhionaeschna galapagoensis (Currie, 1901) with notes on its biology and a description of its ultimate instar larva (Odonata, Aeshnidae).-A morphological, molecular, and behavioural characterization of Rhionaeschna galapagoensis is presented, based on a series of specimens and observations from San Cristóbal Island, Galápagos, including both adults and larvae. Several of the characters proposed earlier to distinguish between the adults of this species and its closest relative, R. elsia, are found to be variable, but the presence of a black band over the fronto-clypeal suture is confirmed as a good diagnostic character. The ultimate instar larvae of R. galapagoensis is described for the first time, and diagnosed from its closest relatives by a combination of characters, including the acute angle between the prothoracic apophyses, absence of lateral spines on abdominal segment 6, and length of cerci relative to paraprocts. Molecular analysis confirmed that R. galapagoensis and R. elsia are sister species, and showed that their genetic distance is the closest among the analyzed species, which is to be expected given the young age of the Galápagos Islands. The larvae of R. galapagoensis were very common and widespread in the mountain streams and a pond in the southwest of San Cristóbal. Swarms of tens of individuals formed at sunrise in the coastal vegetation, together with adults of Tramea cf. cophysa, feeding on small flying insects. Males showed patrolling behaviour on small sections of the streams and at a pond. Only one copulation was observed, lasting 10 minutes. Females oviposited alone on floating vegetation in running and standing waters. Our observations corroborate that R. galapagoensis and R. elsia are parapatric species, that are morphologically and genetically close. In San Cristóbal, R. galapagoensis had large populations, apparently not threatened.
