Comparison of conservation values among man-made aquatic habitats using Odonata communities in Slovakia

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Odonates are one of the best-known aquatic insect groups, with the renowned ability to reflect the quality of freshwater ecosystems. In the last few decades, major emphasis has been placed on the importance of secondary aquatic habitats as refugia for odonates. Biota of man-made habitats, especially dams, are burdened by countless negative anthropogenic impacts. Nevertheless, some habitat types appear to be able to support species with high conservation value. Here, we used generalised linear models to analyse the effects of several environmental characteristics, such as pH, conductivity, water area and perimeter of selected sites, to clarify the effects of drivers in terms of species richness of odonates. Water dams, flooded quarries, flooded gravel quarries and flooded sandpits have been compared based on the Dragonfly Biotic Index (DBI). We recorded 44 odonate species, including several red-listed ones, such as Epitheca bimaculata (Charpentier, 1825), Leucorrhinia caudalis (Charpentier, 1840) and L. pectoralis (Charpentier, 1825). Although the highest numbers of species were found at water dams, at such habitats, the lowest values of DBI were revealed. The fractional effect of habitat types on DBI was also proven to be significant. Increased conductivity resulted in a decrease of species richness. The positive correlation between habitat area and DBI was also proven to be significant. Our results indicate a high conservation value of different types of flooded quarries counter to water dams, based on the presence of several nationally threatened species with high values of DBI.
