Predisposed to adapt? Clade-level differences in characters affecting swimming performance in damselflies.

Abstract excerpt

Previous studies have shown that two or three lineages of Enallagma damselflies, which historically co-existed with fish, recently invaded and adapted to living with large dragonfly predators in fishless waters. In adapting to live with these new predators, lineages shifted behaviorally to using swimming as an evasive tactic against attacking predators, evolved morphological features that made them faster...
