Australian Dragonfly (Odonata) Larvae: Descriptive history and identification

Further Observations on the Functional Morphology of the Head and Mouthparts of Dragonfly Larvae (odonata)

ultrastructure and osmoregulatory function of the branchial chamber in the larvae of dragonfly, libellula lydia (odonata)

the ultrastructure of the cells, na+, k+-atpase activity and immunolocalization were examined in the barnchial chamber of libellula lydia (drury, 1773) larvae. na+,k+-atpase activity and localization were performed through biochemical techniques and immunofluorescence light microscopy using a mouse monoclonal antibody iggα5, respectively. the branchial chamber possesses six pair gills lamellae ...

Patterns of ventilation in dragonfly larvae.

Respiration in the aquatic larvae of anisopteran dragonilies is of interest from a comparative point of view in that it utilizes a tidal ventilation mechanism in an aquatic medium. In most animals where water is the respiratory medium the flow over the respiratory surfaces is generally undirectional and this probably requires less energy for the extraction of a given amount of oxygen. Tidal or ...

The Dragonfly Family Libellulidae (Insecta: Odonata: Anisoptera) of Shiraz and its Vicinity (Fars Province, Iran)

Thirteen species in five genera of the Libellulidae family were collected in a survey of dragonflies (Odonata) of Shiraz and its vicinity, involving 19 locations, The presented records of the libellulid dragonflies taken from the Fars province comprise a first time collection of two genera, Sympetrum and Pantala, and seven species, Orthetrum anceps Schnider, Orthetrum taeniolatum Schneider, Ort...
