The wonderful journey of dragonflies around the world
Abstract
Migration is distinguished by long trips and movements with the objective of reproduction, search for breeding places, search for shelters among other places. A large part of the insect species has been this type of behavior; the effect has been to protect migratory species and protect the habitats and components of biodiversity found on migratory routes.
Migration in dragonflies is of most importance since it can explain the distribution of certain species, in addition to helping us to know beneficial aspects for conservation and to know the potential of freshwater bodies and the biodiversity that are in them, therefore, it is important to recognize the value of the study in these aspects of migration and dispersion.
