Biodiversity in Australia's National Reserve System - Part ... - BushBlitz

The dragonfly or damselfly group is relatively poorly represented by records and no species
had records in more than 100 separate PAs. In fact, only one species had records in more
than 50 separate PAs. This is not a reflection on this group in general having only small
ranges, but rather the relatively poor levels of surveys and records.
