“…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.…”

Although the Odonata are common inhabitants of various extreme environments such as geothermal springs, brackish wetlands, mangroves, and volcanic lakes, the assemblages of this group associated with extreme habitats in Australasia are rather poorly known. Here, we combine museum collection data and published reports on Odonata from extreme habitats on Flores Island, Lesser Sunda Archipelago. The highly acidic Sano Nggoang Crater Lake (mean pH = 3.17) on Flores houses seven species as follows: Agriocnemis pygmaea, Xiphiagrion cyanomelas (Coenagrionidae), Neurothemis ramburii, Orthetrum pruinosum pruinosum, O. sabina, O. testaceum soembanum (Libellulidae), and Anax gibbosulus (Aeshnidae). A coastal marsh site with slightly brackish water on Flores harbors at least five dragonfly species as follows: Diplacodes trivialis, Neurothemis intermedia excelsa, N. terminata, Pantala flavescens, and Rhyothemis phyllis ixias (Libellulidae). The migratory dragonfly Pantala flavescens was a single species recorded on the waterless Kanawa Island near the western edge of Flores. Our findings suggest that extreme habitats in eastern Indonesia primarily colonized by widespread generalist Odonata species. Finally, an updated checklist of Odonata species recorded from Flores Island was compiled. Our survey of museum specimens recovered two species not found on existing species lists for Flores: Neurothemis intermedia excelsa and Pantala flavescens.

“…The ecological requirements of Odonata and the autecological factors limiting species distribution in particular habitats are still unclear (McPeek 2008;Balzan 2012). Although Odonata are not common saltmarsh inhabitants (Cheng 1976), many species can withstand high level of salinity (Zinchenko and Golovatyuk 2013) and live in brackish environments such as saltmarshes (Catling et al 2006). In these habitats, Diptera, Coleoptera, and Hemiptera dominate most of the insect fauna (Cheng 1976).…”

“…3% of this assemblage only (Bowden and Johnson 1976). Specifically, Catling et al (2006) noted that a "heterogenous assemblage of Zygoptera and Anisoptera can occupy brackish waters, usually of relatively low salinity compared with seawater", but only some of these taxa can survive in higher-salinity waters (Zinchenko and Golovatyuk 2013). According to Kelts (1977) and Corbet (1999), only one species may be considered a truly marine dragonfly (Erythrodiplax berenice Drury),…”

“…Brunelle (1997) set the stage for this odonatological renaissance, and his superb treatment of species diversity in the Atlantic Maritime Ecozone (Brunelle 2010) is a testament to the success of ADIP. Many other publications on the region have appeared, of course, including those on distribution (Hilton 1990), population dynamics (Conrad and Herman 1996), habitat/ecology (Catling et al 2006) and important new records (e.g., Harding 2007).

Since Corbet’s thorough 1979 overview of Canadian Odonata, hundreds of regional works on taxonomy, faunistics, distribution, life history, ecology and behaviour have been written. Canada records 214 species of Odonata, an increase of 20 since the 1979 assessment. Estimates of unrecorded species are small; this reflects the well-known nature of the fauna. A major impetus for surveys and analyses of the status of species is the work of the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada which provides a scientifically sound classification of wildlife species potentially at risk. As of 2017, six species have been designated “Endangered” and two “Special Concern” (only five of which are officially listed under the Federal Species at Risk Act (SARA)). The Order provides a good example of molecular barcoding effort in insects, as many well-accepted morphological species in Canada have been barcoded to some degree. However, more barcoding of accurately identified specimens of many species is still required, especially in most of the larger families, which have less than 70% of their species barcoded. Corbet noted that the larvae of 15 Canadian species were unknown, but almost all larvae are now well, or cursorily, described. Extensive surveys have greatly improved our understanding of species’ geographical distributions, habitat requirements and conservation status but more research is required to better define occurrence, abundance and biological details for almost all species.
