Abstract:

Insect migration is vital for ecosystems, with trillions of individuals redistributing biomass and nutrients annually. Dragonflies, particularly Pantala flavescens are notable migratory insects capable of traveling over 6,000 kilometres across generations. Their migrations are influenced by resource availability, breeding needs, environmental conditions, and competition avoidance. This behaviour includes both seasonal movements and sporadic flights triggered by temperature and wind cues. Despite their well-known life cycle from aquatic nymphs to aerial adults, many aspects of their migration r

Abstract:

Every year billions of butterflies, dragonflies, moths and other insects migrate across continents, and considerable progress has been made in understanding population-level migratory phenomena. However, little is known about destinations and strategies of individual insects. We attached miniaturized radio transmitters ( ca 300 mg) to the thoraxes of 14 individual dragonflies (common green darners, Anax junius ) and followed them during their autumn migration for up to 12 days, using receiver-equipped Cessna airplanes and ground teams. Green darners exhibited distinct stopover and migration da

Abstract:

AbstractAnimals which migrate by flying should be subject to selection for optimal wing characteristics that maximize energy efficiency during migration. We investigated wing shape and wing area variation in the Globe Skimmer Dragonfly Pantala flavescens, which has the longest known migration of any insect. Wing shape and wing area differences between individuals in southern Peninsular India, and migrating individuals at a stop-over site on the Maldives, were compared. Results suggest that individuals which successfully reached the Maldives, on their way from India to Africa, had a broader win

Abstract:

In Middle Asia, the dragonfly Pantala flavescens makes regular seasonal migrations. In spring, sexually mature dragonflies (immigrants) arrive in this region for reproduction. Dragonflies of the aboriginal generation (residents) develop in about two months, and migrate south in autumn. Residents of Middle Asia have significantly lower δ2H values (−123.5 (SD 17.2)‰, n = 53) than immigrants (−64.4 (9.7)‰, n = 12), as well as aboriginal dragonfly species from Ethiopia (−47.9 (10.8)‰, n = 4) and the Sahel zone (−50.1 (15.5)‰, n = 11).

Abstract:

Nowadays, virtual machine migration (VMM) is a trending research since it helps in balancing the load of the Cloud effectively. Several VMM-based strategies defined in the literature have considered various metrics, such as load, energy, and migration cost for balancing the load of the model. This paper introduces a novel VMM strategy by considering the load of the Cloud network. Two important aspects of the proposed scheme are the load prediction through the support vector regression (SVR) and the optimal VM placement through the proposed dragonfly-based crow (D-Crow) optimization algorithm.

Abstract:

Dragonfly Algorithm (DA) is a meta-heuristic algorithm, It is a new algorithm proposed by Mirjalili in (2015) and it simulate the behavior of dragonflies in their search for food and migration. In this paper, a modified conjugate gradient algorithm is proposed by deriving new conjugate coefficient. The sufficient descent and the global convergence properties for the proposed algorithm are proved. Novel hybrid algorithm of the dragonfly (DA) was proposed with modified conjugate gradient Algorithm which develops the elementary society that is randomly generated as the primary society for the dra

Abstract:

The mesuropetalid dragonfly Sinomesuropetala daohugensis Boudet, Nel & Huang, 2023, is here revised based on a new well-preserved dragonfly from the Haifanggou Formation of Inner Mongolia, northeastern China. The new specimen allows us to complete the forewing characters of this species, showing the close relationship of Sinomesuropetala Boudet, Nel & Huang, 2023 with Mesuropetala Handlirsch, 1906. The mesuropetalid dragonflies are currently recorded from the Late Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous deposits of east Asia, East Central South Europe, and southern America, indicating the wide d

Abstract:

Background Establishing the species limits and resolving phylogenetic relationships are primary goals of taxonomists and evolutionary biologists. At present, a controversial question is about interspecific phylogenetic information in morphological features. Are the interspecific relationships established based on genetic information consistent with the traditional classification system? To address these problems, this study analyzed the wing shape structure of 10 species of Libellulidae, explored the relationship between wing shape and dragonfly behavior and living habits, and established an i

Abstract:

On 06-vii-2019 a single male of Pantala flavescens was recorded in the early postmining landscape of Lower Lusatia, south-eastern Brandenburg, Germany. This was the first record of this migratory species in Germany not attributable to human transportation. On 17-viii-2019 an exuviae and a single adult in late teneral condition were found at the same site. According to current knowledge this is the first confirmed record of a successful breeding of P. flavescens in Europe.

Abstract:

The global population structure and dispersal patterns of Pantala flavescens (Fabricius, 1798) are evaluated using a geographically extensive mitochondrial DNA dataset, a more limited samples of nuclear markers, wing isotopic (δ²H) data and a literature review. No spatial or temporal haplotype structure was recovered between the samples. Isotope data suggest that most samples were immigrants at the collection locations. A literature review of migration events for the species confirms regular inter-and intra-continental migrations occur (the majority reported from Asia, Africa and Australasia),

Abstract:

Abstract Migration is a phenomenon that has been known for at least two centuries, but research into how and why migration takes place in dragonflies, and which individuals engage in it, has occurred only in recent decades. Some species of dragonfly have demonstrated amazing migratory behavior, moving across and between continents; this chapter reviews the history of work on some of these species (Anax junius, Pantala flavescens, and others) and uses these exemplars to explore what we know about directed dragonfly movements, and what tools have been applied to this research.
