“…The areas with high CWE in the Western Palaearctic are concentrated on the Mediterranean and the mountain regions of Turkey and Iran. All these areas match with known areas of endemism for odonates [34][35][36][37]. The Palaearctic part of the Arabian Peninsula lacks distinct areas of high CWE, with all endemics with small ranges being found largely in areas in Oman and Yemen that fall outside the Palaearctic, as redefined by [10].…”

More than 1.2 million distribution records were used to create species distribution models for 402 Palaearctic species of dragonflies and damselflies. On the basis of these diversity maps of total, lentic and lotic diversity for the whole of the Palaearctic (excluding China and the Himalayan region) are presented. These maps show a clear pattern of decreasing diversity longitudinally, with species numbers dropping in the eastern half of Europe and remaining low throughout a large part of Russia, then increasing again towards Russia’s Far East and Korea. There are clear differences in diversity patterns of lentic and lotic species, with lentic species being dominant in colder and more arid areas. Areas with a high diversity of species assessed as threatened on the IUCN red list are largely restricted to the Mediterranean, Southwest Asia, and Japan, with clear hotspots found in the Levant and the southern half of Japan. The diversity at species, generic, and family level is higher in the south of Japan than in areas at a similar latitude in the western Mediterranean. This is likely to be the result of the more humid climate of Japan resulting in a higher diversity of freshwater habitats and the stronger impact of the glacial periods in the Western Palaearctic in combination with the Sahara, preventing tropical African lineages dispersing northwards.

“…Local populations of Mnais costalis, Anotogaster sieboldii, and Orthetrum melania were recorded from several geothermal areas of the Kunashir Island. These species have Japanese-Korean affinities (Asahina 1959;Kosterin et al 2004;Kiyoshi 2008;Okuyama et al 2013). Based on our data, these species can be abundant locally near geothermal springs on Kunashir (Table 2) as does Orthetrum albistylum in hot springs around Lake Baikal (Borisov 2014(Borisov , 2017.…”

“…770 km northward of the northern boundary of its range in China (Borisov 2017). These local populations and their unique habitats must be protected as regional natural reserves (Kosterin et al 2004). It was thought that the Siberian populations were isolated since the Tertiary (Belyshev 1956) or the Holocene Climate Optimum as relict fragments of the former continuous range of this species (Borisov 2014(Borisov , 2017.…”

Dragonflies from hot springs in Russia with a country-level checklist of species known to occur in geothermal environments

Geothermal springs are known to harbor unusual assemblages of dragonflies and damselflies worldwide. A review of original records and the body of available literature revealed that 27 Odonata species were recorded from hot springs in Russia so far and that the successful larval development in geothermal environments was discovered for 17 species. Among them, four species exclusively inhabit hot springs, i.e. Mnais costalis, Anotogaster sieboldii, Orthetrum melania (Kunashir Island), and O. albistylum (Eastern Siberia). In Russia, these southern species are unable to develop beyond geothermally heated water bodies due to cold climate, and they exist as local geothermal populations there. Here, we report on several novel records of Odonata species from geothermal springs in eastern Russia. Four species were recorded on the Kunashir Island (Kurile Archipelago): Mnais costalis (adults), Anotogaster sieboldii (adults and larvae), Orthetrum melania (adults), and Sympetrum pedemontanum elatum (adults and larvae). Two species were found in the Kamchatka Peninsula, i.e. Libellula quadrimaculata (freshly emerged imago and exuvia) and Aeshna juncea (larvae). To explain the origin of isolated geothermal populations of Odonata, three alternative hypotheses can be proposed as follows: (1) pre-glacial relicts; (2) mid-Holocene relicts (since the Holocene Climate Optimum); and (3) recent (late Holocene) populations founded by long-distance dispersal events. These scenarios are yet to be tested by means of a molecular approach.

In most instances, the anomalous mating attempt ends in the tandem stage, before the contact of male's secondary copulation organ and female's genitalia and thus prior to actual sperm transfer.…”

A successful copula formation between a male of Libellula fulva and a female of L. depressa was documented photographically on 23. 6. 2022 at a small stream in the Natura 2000 site Ličenca pri Poljčanah in NE Slovenia. This represents the first record of an anomalous mating attempt with copula formation between the species involved. Their distribution in Slovenia as well as syntopic and syntemporal observations in the country are presented and briefly discussed, as are the site-specific factors and aged female coloration that may have contributed to the described rare attempt of heterospecific mating.
