Conserving dragonfly (Odonata) assemblages relative to river dynamics in an African savanna game reserve
Article Abstract:
River dynamics management is an important factor in maintaining dragonfly populations and diversity in African savannas. A large variety of dragonfly species presents a wide range of different or conflicting habitat needs, such as amounts of shade, grass, or open space. Maintaining constant river water levels and flow rates with minor natural variations preserves both populations and species richness.

Conservation value of independently evolving units: sacred cow or testable hypothesis?
Article Abstract:
The question of how well population structure at molecular marker loci serves as a shortcut to indicate the conservation value of among-population differences is reported. The presence of interpopulation variation in the frequency or diversity of molecular variants is used to indicate whether genetic variation among populations constitutes something of conservation value.
