Impact of environmental changes on the behavioral diversity of the Odonata (Insecta) in the Amazon
Abstract The odonates are insects that have a wide range of reproductive, ritualized territorial, and aggressive behaviors. Changes in behavior are the first response of most odonate species to environmental alterations. In this context, the primary objective of the present study was to assess the e...
