To better understand dragonflies’remarkable flapping wing aerodynamic performance,we measured the kinematic parameters of the wings in two different flight modes(Normal Flight Mode(NFM)and Escape Flight Mode(EFM)).Wh...
Dragonflies are well-known group of insects because of their biological and ecological importance in a community,that is,they indicate the environmental health of an ecosystem.However,in an urban ecosystem,there are m...
White Nile state characterizes by rich healthy habitats especially wetlands which it supports the diversity of wildlife, Odonata species are actually poorly known in the White Nile region. A systematic survey was carr...
Egg deposition within plants is one of the most widely distributed and ancient behaviors in Odonata. The resulting clutch consists of eggs placed in peculiar pattern that can be a characteristic for certain groups of ...

Two well-preserved fossil dragonflies from the Late Mesozoic Yixian Formation, Liaoning Province, China are described and assigned to a new genus, Sopholibellula gen. nov. in Araripelibellulidae Bechly, 1996, closely ...
The knowledge of wing orientation and deformation during flapping flight is necessary for a complete aerodynamic analysis, but to date those kinematic features have not been simultaneously quantified for free-flying i...
