Dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata) from Flores Island, Lesser Sunda Archipelago: New occurrences in extreme environments and an island-level checklist of this group

“…Diplacodes trivialis, Neurothemis intermedia excelsa, N. terminata, Pantala flavescens, and Rhyothemis phyllis ixias. The majority of these taxa represent widespread generalist species, a pattern consistent with findings from coastal wetlands in North America (Wright 1943;McCreadie et al 2005;Catling et al 2006, Catling 2009) and Europe (Uboni et al 2020). In particular, diverse assemblages of odonates exploit brackish pools and salt marshes from Quebec and New Brunswick in Canada to the deltas of the Mississippi and Mobile rivers/Tensaw on the Gulf of Mexico (Wright 1943;McCreadie et al 2005;Catling et al 2006, Catling 2009.…”

It was shown that at least 15 widespread Odonata species inhabit brackish wetlands in Europe (Uboni et al 2020). Saline inland lakes in North America can also support rather species-poor Odonata assemblages, comprising a few common, generalist species (Schwarz 1891;Osburn 1906;Cannings & Cannings 1987).…”
