The perception of dragonflies is different than that of most insects because it does not rely on odour reception. The most important is their sense of sight. Well-developed structure of the brain responsible for vision and motor coordination allows dragonflies being quick and proactive hunters. Analyzing the anatomy of the dragonflies’ brain we can find some evidences of their evolutionary heritage...
During the initial studies of a sand excavation in Borowa near Dęblin (51°31’N, 21°51’E, UTM EC50) 25 dragonfly species were recorded of which 23 were autochthonic or probably autochthonic. The most interesting were: Coenagrion lunulatum, Gomphus vulgatissimus, Crocothemis erythraea, Leucorrhinia albifrons and L. caudalis. The studied object seems to be a quite stable secondary habitat of the dragonfly...
Authors discuss the occurrence of dragonflies in the Kampinos National Park and its buffering zone which are also protected as Biosphere Reserve “Kampinos Forest”. The center of the reserve is the Kampinos Forest, the largest compact forest complex in Central Poland. The data on dragonflies of the biosphere reserve is in 21 papers which encompass in general 41 species (37 from the park and 25 from...
The new site of Cordulegaster bidentata in Kiebło Brzezińskie near Bochnia (49º56’N, 20º30’E, UTM: DA63) is given. In the years 2011-2012 numerous larvae were found and imagines were observed. The site has a disjunctive character and is one of the lowest located autochthonic occurrence sites in Poland (260-270 m a.s.l.).
Paper summarizes six-year long (2007-2012) studies on dragonflies (Odonata) in the county of Pleszew (Western Poland) as well as the eight border sites located in the area of adjacent counties (Fig. 1). The whole area is in the macroregion of the Pohidniowowielkopolska Lowland, in the borderland of two mesoregions: the Kalisz High Plain and Rychwalska Plain. The research was aimed at understanding...
Author discusses two Russian papers with data from the vicinity of Puławy (eastern Poland) which have been omitted in odonatological literature so far including "A distribution atlas of dragonflies (Odonata) in Poland" (Bernard et al. 2009). Zaitsev (1908) gave on the margins of the paper about interesting insects of the vicinities of Puławy the information about the recording of Caraphractus...
The author discusses the symposium organized in June 2013 in the Kampinoski National Park (central Poland). One scientific session and a several field sessions took place. During the field sessions, at 16 sites 34 dragonfly species were found with one species (Erythromma viridulum) which makes together 53 species known in this area. Moreover, the recently discovered population of Nehalennia speciosa...
The author presents a list of Polish and dedicated to Poland odonatological papers that were published in the year 2012. In the reported time period, 47 papers of various kind were published. One paper published in the year 2011 is given too.
Eight new localities of Nehalennia speciosa (Charpentier, 1840) were found in the Biebrza river valley, NE Poland, six of them in the Biebrza National Park (Figs 1, 2). The Biebrza river valley is famous as the largest complex of marshes in Poland and in Central Europe. N. speciosa has never been recorded there before. Six out of eight localities were found in the southern basin of the river that...
