Dear  International Odonata Research Institute,

I have just started my PhD at Macquarie University with Professor Lesley
Hughes, I am planning to investigate whether Australian Lepidoptera and
Odonata are responding to climate change by shifting their ranges
southwards. 

I am trying to collate information about Australian east coast species;
range data, flight dates, sampling protocols and whether or not it is
possible to identify the larvae to species level. I have contacted ANIC and
they have been helpful for range data but I am hoping that there is more
information and more records out there that I have accessed yet.

Do you have any range data that I could have access to? Do you know of
organisation that currently (or in the past) surveys dragonflies or their
larvae? And do you know whether or not it is possible to identify dragonfly
larvae to species level? And what is the best way to sample for them?

I have listed the dragonflies I am interested in below; if you can offer any
information I will be grateful to receive it.

Yours sincerely,
Kath McClellan
