Analysis reveals that canopy cover drives odonate diversity in protected wetlands, suggesting conservation priorities.

Odonata diversity was significantly higher in riparian forests compared to agricultural sites, indicating habitat importance.
The study identified 28 species comprising 6252 individuals, highlighting the rich biodiversity in the Axios Delta National Park.
Utilizing the line transect technique, the research observed notable differences in assemblages between cropland and natural habitats.
The Conservation Value Index indicated 21 hotspots, suggesting targeted conservation efforts are necessary in canopy cover areas.

Kaltsas et al. (2025) studied this question.
