> Oxford Univ Press has just released a new book on odonate ecology  
> and evolution. This
> is a collection of chapters I edited in which there is an emphasis  
> on theoretical
> aspects in ecology and evolution in which odonates have been used  
> as study subjects.

> On the other hand, I and my group are now gathering information on  
> copulation duration
> and mating system (whether males are territorial or nonterritorial)  
> for a study on
> whether both variables show correlated evolution. Currently we have  
> data for the
> species that appear below. If any of you have more data on OTHER  
> species, could you
> please send it to me ? Copulation duration should be recorded only  
> for the time in
> which the male genitalia is inserted in the vagina. Sometimes,  
> couples spend more
> time in tandem but insertion is not taking place and the couple  
> remains connected via
> the male abdominal appendages - technically this is not copulation.  
> For mating
> systems, we only need to know whether or not males defend a  
> territory against other
> males. If the species do not do this, then we are talking about a  
> nonterritorial
> species. If you require more information, please let me know. All  
> data will be
