Editorial Reviews
Synopsis
Containing more than 4000 bibliographical entries, this is a critical review of information - published and unpublished, world-wide - on the behaviour and ecology of dragonflies (Insecta: order Odonata) in all stages of the life cycle for both physical and biotic environments. The author integrates information about tropical and temperate species in functional and evolutionary contexts, and reviews facts and ideas in the context of current biological thinking. The treatment emphasizes diversity of behaviour, as well as broad patterns.
