This study compares community science and AI-driven observations of dragonfly reproductive behaviors in an urban area, finding strong correlations in species counts but biases in reproductive behavior detection.

This study investigates hybridization between two dragonfly species using niche modeling, haplotype networks, and introgression tests, revealing historical hybridization events and unidirectional gene flow.

The paper presents the first high-quality genome assembly of a strepsipteran species and compares it with two others, finding a conserved genomic blueprint for obligate endoparasitism.

The paper presents the first high-quality genomes of two webspinner species, revealing complex silk gene structures and gland morphology through genomics and CT imaging.

This paper presents the first assembled genome of Aeshna juncea, revealing transposon-driven genome size variation and population bottlenecks in Arctic populations.

The paper compares eDNA metabarcoding and community science for monitoring Odonata in urban ecosystems, finding both methods have distinct strengths and limitations.

This study shows that tectonic uplift and oceanic separation shape the distribution and speciation of Kapokapowai dragonflies in New Zealand.

This study identifies genes and adaptations in the blue dasher dragonfly that enable survival in urban environments and predicts its spread with urbanization.

This study identifies gene family expansions in two dragonfly families, linking them to ecological and life history traits, and finds Odonata has lower gene turnover than other insects.

The paper presents a chromosome-length genome assembly of the Black Petaltail dragonfly, providing the first such assembly for a non-libelluloid dragonfly.

The paper optimizes subsampling in phylogenetic analysis to improve tree quality and reduce computational costs for Blaberoidea cockroaches.
