About this book

Language: Italian

Dragonflies have resplendent colours, huge eyes and wonderful abilities in flight, during which they can capture their prey and begin to mate. Often present in the artworks of different cultures, in the scientific field they are useful for environmental monitoring, assessment of territorial management practices, and even for predicting biological effects due to climate change. This guide describes the 90 species present in the Alps, one of the most varied areas in Europe, focusing on the ecology, behaviour, systematics and habitat of the delicate mountain environment. Detailed maps show the area of each species in the Alpine arc, graphs and illustrations show the height distribution and phenology, while a collection of icons illustrates the specific features of each dragonfly in various stages. This field guide will be a valuable tool for researchers and first-time naturalists, as well as for all enthusiasts and hikers who want to learn more about these fascinating insects.

Summary in Italian:
Le libellule hanno colori splendenti, occhi enormi e una meravigliosa abilità nel volo, durante il quale catturano le loro prede e danno inizio all’accoppiamento. Da sempre presenti nelle espressioni artistiche di diverse culture, in ambito scientifico sono utili per il monitoraggio ambientale, la valutazione delle pratiche di gestione territoriale e persino per la previsione degli effetti biologici dovuti ai cambiamenti climatici. Nella guida vengono descritte con chiarezza le 90 specie presenti sulle Alpi, una delle aree con la maggiore varietà in Europa, soffermandosi su ecologia, comportamento, sistematica e habitat del delicato ambiente montano. Mappe dettagliate mostrano l’areale di ciascuna specie sull’arco alpino, grafici e disegni di rapida lettura ne descrivono la distribuzione altimetrica e la fenologia, mentre il vasto apparato iconografico consente di illustrare le caratteristiche specifiche di ogni libellula nei vari stadi. Il manuale si propone come un valido strumento tanto per ricercatori quanto per naturalisti alle prime armi, oltre che per tutti gli appassionati ed escursionisti che vogliano saperne di più su questi affascinanti insetti.
