A contribution to the knowledge of the odonatofauna of the Socotra Archipelago (Yemen)

A comprehensive review of the Socotra Archipelago's odonatofauna (dragonfly and damselfly species) confirms the presence of 17 out of 18 known species on the main island, with detailed distribution patterns documented between 2007 and 2010. The study also provides new insights into species occurring on Abd El-Kuri and Samha islands, expanding the understanding of this unique ecosystem. Researchers combined field collections with literature surveys to achieve these findings, offering valuable data for biodiversity studies in this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
