This study tests hypotheses about ancient introgression and gene flow in Pacific salmonids, finding introgression between trout and salmon ancestors but not between trout lineages.

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.

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.
