To what extent can oil palm plantations in the Amazon support assemblages of Odonata larvae?

The aims of the study were to identify differences in alpha and beta diversity of Odonata larvae of the suborders Zygoptera and Anisoptera found between continuous forest sites (forest) and oil palm sites with forested buffers (oil palm), and to evaluate the extent of turnover and nestedness of communities within each habitat type. Twenty‐nine streams were sampled, 11 in forests and 18 in oil palm sites in the eastern Amazon. Alpha diversity of...
