Biology:Coenagrion

From HandWiki

Coenagrion is a genus of damselflies in the family Coenagrionidae,[1] commonly called the Eurasian Bluets (although three species are found in North America: Coenagrion angulatum, Coenagrion interrogatum, and Coenagrion resolutum[2]). Species of Coenagrion are generally medium-sized, brightly coloured damselflies.[3]

The genus Coenagrion includes the following species:[4][5][6]

  • Coenagrion aculeatum Yu & Bu, 2007

  • Coenagrion australocaspicum Dumont & Heidari, 1996
  • Coenagrion caerulescens (Fonscolombe, 1838) – Mediterranean Bluet[7]
  • Coenagrion chusanicum Navás, 1933

Biology

Thermal adaptation

This genus's capacity for phenotypically plastic responses to the surface air temperature is important to species' ranges.[11] These thermal responses will also decide a great deal of these species' responses to climate change.[11] Nilsson-Örtman et al., 2012 find a high degree of thermal adaptation in high latitude populations of Coenagrion.[11] They found similar plasticity even for various sympatric species at the same locations, and despite the highly variable weather at such latitudes.[11]

Etymology

The genus name Coenagrion combines the Greek κοινός (koinos, "common") with Agrion, the name of a related genus.[12]
