The Role of Odonata in Wetland Ecosystems: An Ecological Perspective
Abstract: Odonata, comprising dragonflies and damselflies, are integral to the health and sustainability of wetland ecosystems. These insects serve as both apex predators in aquatic habitats and key prey species in terrestrial food webs, ensuring ecological balance. In their larval stage, Odonata contributes to nutrient cycling and water quality by preying on detritivores and controlling populations of aquatic pests, such as mosquitoes. As adults, they help regulate terrestrial insect populations, acting …
