“…For thermal preference we extracted the geo-referenced elevations [17] for each species' records and used the maximum elevation which was strongly correlated (r ¼ 0.98) with the entire occupied elevational range. So a higher maximum elevation demonstrated population viability across a much broader range of thermal microclimates compared with a stenothermic damselfly that is only found within a narrow elevation zone [13].…”

“…Damselflies have, in fact, demonstrated some of the fastest range margin movements, nearly tracking shifting isotherms [11,12], and a preliminary traits-based analysis [13] found that cold-adapted stenothermic odonates would be the 'losers' under modern warmer climates. However, much uncertainty remains over the geographical scales at which certain traits like dispersal ability might predominate [3], or even whether we can predict the limits that intrinsic traits impose upon distributional shifts [14].…”

Adult activity and temperature preference drives region-wide damselfly (Zygoptera) distributions under a warming climate

We analysed a recently completed statewide odonate Atlas using multivariate linear models. Within a phylogenetically explicit framework, we developed a suite of data-derived traits to assess the mechanistic distributional drivers of 59 species of damselflies in New York State (NYS). We found that length of the flight season (adult breeding activity period) mediated by thermal preference drives regional distributions at broad (10 5 km 2 ) scales. Species that had longer adult flight periods, in conjunction with longer growing seasons, had significantly wider distributions. These intrinsic traits shape species' responses to changing climates and the mechanisms behind such range shifts are fitness-based metapopulation processes that adjust phenology to the prevailing habitat and climate regime through a photoperiod filter.

“…Anthropogenically driven climate change threatens ephemeral and perennial pond biodiversity in temperate regions (Zacharias et al, 2007;Matthews, 2010;Rosset et al, 2010;Rosset and Oertli, 2011). Precipitation fluctuations will affect the thermal mass, increasing mean annual pond water temperature, reducing dissolved oxygen and affecting the pond community composition (Matthews, 2010).…”

“…Hence, a species altitudinal shift as a result of climate warming could increase alpine pond taxonomic richness, but concurrently lead to the extinction of cold stenothermal species unable migrate any higher (Oertli et al, 2008;Rosset et al, 2010 Rosset andOertli, 2011). The invasion of exotic species presents an additional risk to the heterogeneity of pond biodiversity .…”

Ponds are common and abundant features in nearly all landscapes typical of European lowland landscapes yet research on freshwater biodiversity has traditionally focussed on larger waterbodies such as lakes and rivers. This has led to an increased need to understand and quantify the biodiversity associated with pond habitats to better inform the active conservation and management of these small waterbodies. This thesis examines the aquatic macroinvertebrate biodiversity (alpha, beta and gamma) and conservation value of 95 ponds in Leicestershire, UK, across a variety of urban and rural landscape types and at a range of spatial scales. In addition, the relative importance of local (physicochemical and biological) and spatial (connectivity) variables in structuring macroinvertebrate communities within ponds is investigated. At a regional scale, the greatest macroinvertebrate biodiversity and conservation value was recorded within meadow ponds compared to urban, agricultural and forest ponds. Spatially, ponds were highly physically and biologically heterogeneous. Temporally (seasonally), invertebrate communities were most dissimilar in meadow and agricultural ponds but assemblages were similar in urban and forest ponds. In urban landscapes, park ponds supported a greater diversity of invertebrates than 'other' urban or garden ponds and typically had a greater conservation value. Garden ponds were the most taxon poor of those investigated. Perennial floodplain meadow ponds supported a greater biodiversity of invertebrates compared to ephemeral meadow ponds although conservation value was similar. Despite regular inundation from the River Soar, ephemeral ponds supported distinct communities compared to perennial meadow ponds. Aquatic macrophytes supported a higher diversity of taxa than other pond mesohabitats across all landscapes studied. Physicochemical factors were identified to be the dominant influence on macroinvertebrate assemblages although, a combination of local and spatial factors best explained the variation in community composition at a regional scale and for meadow ponds. Spatial factors were not identified to significantly influence urban pond communities. This study highlights the ecological importance and conservation value of ponds in rural and anthropogenically disturbed landscapes. Recognition of the significant contribution of ponds to freshwater biodiversity at regional and landscape scales is important for future conservation of pond habitats and will help focus and direct conservation strategies to where they are needed most.iv

“…Para além destas adaptações, alguns organismos ainda apresentam adaptações nas suas estratégias de vida, como fases de dormência ou o desenvolvimento de estruturas de resistência, que lhes permitem sobreviver aos longos períodos de condições extremas, desde o período de cobertura por gelo até ao período de seca das lagoas. Findo esse período, e com o regresso de condições mais amenas e favoráveis, os organismos retomam rapidamente o ciclo de vida, que terá de ocorrer durante o reduzido período em que as condições ambientais são propícias para a sua reprodução 9,13,14 .…”
