Phylogeography and larval spine length of the dragonfly Leucorhinia dubia in Europe.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2017

Johansson Frank, Halvarsson Peter, Mikolajewski Dirk J, Höglund Jacob

Abstract excerpt

Presence or absence of predators selects for different kind of morphologies. Hence, we expect variation in traits that protect against predators to vary over geographical areas where predators vary in past and present abundance. Abdominal larval spines in dragonfly larvae provide protection against fish predators. We studied geographical variation in larval spine length of the dragonfly Leucorrhinia dubia across...
