Seasonal variation in dragonfly assemblage colouration suggests a link between thermal melanism and phenology Open
Phenology, the seasonal timing of life events, is an essential component of diversity patterns. However, the mechanisms involved are complex and understudied. Body colour may be an important factor, because dark-bodied species absorb more …
