Rosemary has a paper accepted!

Rosemary Martin’s paper, “Risks for overwintering eggs of dragonfly Sympetrum vicinum in aquatic and terrestrial environments” has been accepted at the journal Hydrobiologia!  Female S. vicinum have been observed laying in both the water and in sediments near the water’s edge, with a single female often alternating between the two habitats as she lays a single clutch. Why they lay in both environments has not been clear but results from this paper suggest that this may occur because they are balancing risks that each environment poses to these eggs.  Exciting work and well done Rosie!
