“…First, odonates are a favourite group in conservation biology (Rouquette & Thompson, 2005;Suh & Samways, 2005). Thus detailed knowledge of species distribution is available for most species, at least in the northern hemisphere (Brown et al, 2000;Korkeamäki & Suhonen, 2002;Schindler et al, 2003;Artiss, 2004). Second, life-history traits, including habitat requirements of larvae, are well known (Askew, 1988(Askew, , 2004Westfall & May, 1996;Dunkle, 2000;Needham et al, 2000).…”

Aim We analysed latitudinal range, centres of distribution and northern range boundaries of dragonflies and damselflies occurring in Europe and North America with respect to larval habitat (standing water = lentic and running water = lotic). As lentic water bodies are thought to be less predictable in space and time than lotic habitats, species adapted to standing waters depend on effective dispersal ability for long‐term survival. If species occurring in lentic habitats have a higher propensity for dispersal, then larger range sizes in lentic than in lotic species, as well as an increase in the proportion of lentic species with latitude, would be expected. Location Europe, North America. Methods Distributional and habitat data were collected from published sources for all odonates of Europe and North America. Species were assigned to lentic and lotic habitats according to the habitat of the larvae. From distribution maps we estimated the latitudinal range, centre of distribution and northern range boundary of each species. Differences in these distribution variables between lentic and lotic species were evaluated using anova. We related the proportion of lentic species by latitudinal interval in Europe, and by political unit (state, province) in North America, to area, altitudinal range, longitude (only for North America) and latitude by means of generalized linear models. Results Lentic damselflies and dragonflies had larger latitudinal spans, and more northern distribution centres and range boundaries, than lotic species. The proportion of lentic species increased with latitude. These findings were consistent between continents. Main conclusions Our results support previous findings that distribution patterns of freshwater species depend on habitat preference. Evolution of dispersal propensity according to habitat characteristics is the most likely explanation. However, at present, alternative explanations, such as an increase in lentic habitats with latitude, cannot be ruled out.

The other 25-50 putative migratory Odonata (Kormondy, 1961) include Sympetrum corruptum, Erythrodiplax umbrata, several species of Tramea, and Libellula quadrimaculata (Artiss, 2004). Most odonates are thought to migrate by taking advantage of wind currents, and most migratory taxa are in the superfamily Libelluloidea.…”

“…Recent molecular phylogenetic studies of Zygoptera have revealed differentiation at various geographical scales, such as among local habitats and among isolated islands (Chippindale et al ., 1999;Brown et al ., 2000;Misof et al ., 2000;Turgeon and McPeek, 2002;Jordan et al ., 2003;Wong et al ., 2003;Hayashi et al ., 2004Hayashi et al ., , 2005Watts et al ., 2004). In contrast, few phylogeographic studies of the suborder Anisoptera, which includes many active fliers, have been conducted (Artiss, 2004;Hovmöller and Johansson, 2004). Although anisopteran groups with wide distributions generally show relatively low genetic differentiation among regions ( e.g ., Artiss, 2004), some are endemic to different continental regions and islands and have diversified ecologically to different habitats like small streams and ponds ( e.g ., Silsby, 2001).…”

To infer the differentiation of Japanese Davidius dragonflies, we investigated the genealogies of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene (COI) and the nuclear ribosomal RNA gene region encompassing 18S, ITS1, 5.8S, and ITS2 sequences for three species endemic to Japan--Davidius nanus, D. fujiama, and D. moiwanus--as well as D. lunatus from the Korean Peninsula. According to the mitochondrial and nuclear gene genealogies, D. nanus and D. moiwanus are closely related and are sister to the continental species D. lunatus, whereas D. fujiama differentiated from an ancestor of the other three species. Although the mitochondrial DNA data did not resolve the relationships between D. nanus and three D. moiwanus subspecies, the nuclear DNA data indicate the monophyly of D. moiwanus and its subspecies. The nuclear gene genealogy suggests that isolated wetlands used by larval D. moiwanus derive from the ancestral riverine habitats of D. nanus and other Davidius species. The COI sequence divergence among local populations was much greater in D. moiwanus than in D. nanus, which may be the result of differences in the dispersal ranges associated with the habitat types of these species.
