Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how changes in land use affect the behaviors and traits of adult odonates (dragonflies and damselflies) within the Brazilian Amazon.
- Fieldwork at 92 low-order streams revealed a loss of behavioral diversity and changes in morphological traits in odonates from impacted sites.
- The findings underscore the need to incorporate behavioral traits into conservation strategies, as unique behaviors may play a crucial role in a species' survival amid environmental changes.
Conservation initiatives overwhelmingly focus on terrestrial biodiversity, and little is known about the freshwater cobenefits of terrestrial conservation actions. We sampled more than 1500 terrestrial and freshwater species in the Amazon and simulated conservation for species from both realms. Prioritizations based on terrestrial species yielded on average just 22% of the freshwater benefits achieved through freshwater-focused conservation.
