A propos de cet article

There are 143 species of dragonflies and damselflies in Europe and 39 of these are presently found on Corfu, giving the island one of the highest numbers of species in the Greek archipelago. New species have been added to the fauna quite recently, the Dainty Bluet (Coenagrion scitulum) and the Blue-eye (Erythromma lindenii) were re- ported for the first time in 2012. In addition, the Black Pennant (Selysiothemis nigra) was reported in 2007 and the Bladetail (Lindenia tetraphylla) in 2014, both most likely being recent arrivals to the island. Corfu also holds populations of the "Critically Endangered" Greek Red Damsel (Pyrrhosoma elisabethae) and the "Near Threatened" Eastern Spectre (Caliaeshna microstigma). The high precipitation and the rich presence of waterways, both permanent and temporary, have created a range of suitable habitats and are factors that can ex- plain the rich dragonfly fauna. However, the increase in the resident population and the growth in tourism, with close to two million visitors every year, have led to habitat loss, especially of coastal wetlands due to the development of hotels and other tourist venues. The increase in water consumption and the increase in the pollution of the island waters are factors that pose serious threats to the fauna in general and to the amphibious one in particular. The aim of this book is to raise the awareness and understanding of the dragonfly fauna, and to give a first idea of its status and need for protection. Information on identification, distribution and habitat for all the 43 reported species from Corfu is also presented. Frankfurt a. M. Chimaira. 251 pp., 231 color photographs, 44 distribution maps, hardcover 8 [15 x 21.5 cm].…
