| Abstract | With development of irrigation and oases, new habitats suitable for dragonflies appeared, and unique assemblages of dragonflies were formed in artificial reservoirs. In the oases zone of the Pamir-Alai Mts., species of the genus Ischnura predominate among Zygoptera. The co-occurrence of Ischnura fountainei, I, evansi, I. elegans, I. forcipata, and I. pumilio was investigated. Divergence of ecological niches of these species is due to their adaptation to different habitats. Co-dominating species demonstrate complementation, i.e., they use the same habitat in different time intervals. The hygrothermal preferences of species determine the differences in their daily rhythms and microspatial distribution of adults. |
