“…Changes taking place in the number of Odonates encountered during point count served as an index of population dynamics. Relative abundance (%) of the species and rate of encounter or frequency of occurrence (% O and % fi) were worked out to determine species dominance and Important Value Index (Tiple et al, 2012;Obrtel and Holisova, 1974). Species diversity index using Shannon-Weiner formula (Shannon, 1948) and equitability worked out (Krebs, 1975) for each time period as well as entire cropping season.…”

ABSTRACT:Odonates diversity was studied in Paddy field of central Gujarat during 2012 to 2015. Total 39 species belonging to 25 genera, under six families and two suborders were recorded. Total 17 species of Zygoptera (damselflies) and 22 species of Anisoptera (dragonflies) were recorded. Community structure and population dynamics of adult odonates were studied at Lingda village during July to December, 2012 through monitoring their population by point count method on three microhabitats (paddy field, village pond and fish farm). Total seventeen species were encounterd in the point count. Diversity index (H') was highest (2.13) for paddy fields followed by fish farm (2.07) and village pond (1.99). Evenness value of the odonates also ranged between 0.7 and 0.8. Total four species (Viz. Ditch Jewel (25.0%), Green Marsh Hawk (17%), Ruddy Marsh Skimmer and Coromandal Marsh Dart (16% each) were dominant species in all three microhabitats. Both the suborders Anisoptera (dragonfly) and Zygoptera (damselfly) showed similar trend of population fluctuation during the study. Relative abundance was higher and remained constant during 4th week of September to 2 nd week of October.

“…While studies of the structuring of natural communities have tended to focus on the role of local environmental conditions, such as disturbances, competition, and abiotic conditions [9], in recent years, spatial processes (geographic distance) have gained growing importance in the analysis of the influence of these different factors [10,11]. Countless studies have attempted to describe or account for the influence of environmental processes and/or spatial factors on the structure of dragonfly communities in various parts of the world [12,13,14,15,16,17,18], although only a relatively small number have focused explicitly on the contributions of both factors in the context of a single system [19,20]. Four notable exceptions, all from Brazil, are Juen and De Marco [4], Brasil [21], and Alves-Martins [22] with studies of adult Odonata in Amazonian streams, and the study of Mendes et al [23], who focused on larvae in streams in the Amazon–Cerrado transition zone.…”

The evaluation of the effects of environmental factors on natural communities has been one of the principal approaches in ecology; although, over the past decade, increasing importance has been given to spatial factors. In this context, we evaluated the relative importance of environmental and spatial factors for the structuring of the local odonate communities in preserved and altered streams. Adult Odonata were sampled in 98 streams in eastern Amazonia, Brazil. The physical features of each stream were evaluated and spatial variables were generated. Only environmental factors accounted for the variation in the Odonata community. The same pattern was observed in the suborder Zygoptera. For Anisoptera, environmental factors alone affect the variation in the community, considering all the environments together, and the altered areas on their own. As the two Odonata suborders presented distinct responses to environmental factors, this partitioning may contribute to an improvement in the precision of studies in biomonitoring. We thus suggest that studies would have a greater explanatory potential if additional variables are included, related to biotic interactions (e.g., competition). This will require further investigation on a finer scale of environmental variation to determine how the Odonata fauna of Amazonian streams behaves under this analytical perspective.

“…Dragonflies (Anisoptera) are amphibiotic insects, and their life history is closely linked to aquatic habitats (Andrew et al 2009), and mostly freshwater habitats like rivers, streams, marshes, lakes, and even small pools and rice fields (Tiple et al 2012). Even though most odonate species are highly habitat-specific, some have adapted to urban areas where they exploit man-made waterbodies (Prasad 1995).…”

We report Epophthalmia vittata Burmeister, 1839 (Odonata, Anisoptera, Macromiidae) from Bangladesh for the first time, based on a specimen collected on 27 May 2016 in the National Botanical Garden, Dhaka. This is first record of any species of the family Macromiidae from Bangladesh. This new record exemplifies gaps in sampling for dragonflies in Bangladesh and suggests that additional research on odonates in the country is needed.
