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

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.
