Restored post-mining areas as a potential ecological trap for Odonata?

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Habitat restoration in post-mining landscapes is undertaken to improve ecological conditions and ecosystem functioning. However, despite good intentions, such efforts often fall short of benefiting wildlife. A significant contributing factor to this outcome is the human-centric approach, where aesthetic considerations and human perceptions of suitable habitats overshadow the needs of animals. Restored habitats may appear attractive, but their low quality can create ecological traps, leading to restoration failure in providing intended fitness benefits for target species. Our study focuses on dragonflies and presents a two-part framework. First, we identify habitats with discrepancies between adult preference and dragonfly larval performance, termed "potential ecological traps". Second, we compare larval survival, immunity, and body condition, to evaluate larval lifetime reproduction success in both habitat types. In general, larvae reared in natural habitats exhibit superior larval conditions and survival rates compared to restored habitats. However, restored sites were also less attractive to ovipositing tandems, indicating the ability of dragonfly parents to discern suitable conditions for their offspring. Our findings emphasize the complex interplay between habitat preference, true quality, and behavioral responses of dragonflies. Recognizing and mitigating ecological traps are crucial in designing and managing restored habitats to ensure the long-term viability and conservation of dragonfly populations in human-altered landscapes. The ability of dragonflies to adapt to their environment suggests that the evolutionary mechanism of habitat selection remains effective even in anthropogenically altered environments. By addressing potential risks associated with ecological traps, restoration practitioners can enhance habitat recovery and promote sustainable ecosystem functioning.
