On the other hand, some man-made water bodies that improve the development of the surrounding vegetation and represent important habitats for species of insects, fish and birds, could also be valuable for biodiversity conservation (Baxter, 1977;Irz et al, 2006;Vilenica et al, 2016b).…”

Many studies have reported a negative impact of freshwater habitat modification on biota. Nevertheless, some man-made water bodies have proven to be valuable for biodiversity conservation as they can harbour many species. We investigated 36 man-made water bodies to determine their suitability as habitats for Odonata. Larvae were sampled in littoral, during the summer months of 2016 and 2017. At each sampling site, ten samples were collected using a benthos hand net. A total of 21 Odonata species was recorded. Odonata assemblages mainly consisted of common widespread species. Yet, at Vlačine Reservoir, located in the Dinaric Western Balkan ecoregion, we also recorded a rare and endangered Mediterranean species, Lindenia tetraphylla (Vander Linden, 1825). Aquatic and riparian vegetation, water level fluctuations and dissolved oxygen concentration had the highest influence on Odonata, showing that man-made water bodies with a well-developed riparian zone and aquatic vegetation, and with low daily and seasonal water level fluctuations, can provide suitable habitats for diverse Odonata species. Odonata are among the sensitive freshwater insects widely used as ecological indicators and umbrella species, therefore these results about their assemblages in heavily modified and man-made habitats could contribute to future conservation activities of freshwater biota and habitats.

“…The sites considered to be of major national importance were all located in Tuscany, for example those of Lago Accesa and Lago della Rancia, with observations referable to a maximum of 20-30 exx, and secondarily in Sar-dinia (Utzeri, 2006;Hardersen & Leo, 2011). From what is available in the literature, the Molise population we discovered in 2012 should today be the most consistent in Italy, and at the current state of knowledge probably among the most relevant in Central and Western Europe (Boudot & Kalkman, 2015;Vilenica et al, 2016).…”

“…It is distributed also from Western Pakistan to the Caucasus region, the Levant and Turkey (mostly southern Anatolia) to the Western Mediterranean (Schneider, 1981(Schneider, , 1988Schneider & Dumont, 1997Kalkman, 2006;Kalkman & Van Pelt, 2006;Borisov & Haritonov, 2008;Boudot et al, 2009;Schröter 2010aSchröter , 2010bBoudot & Kalkman, 2015). It was recently found in Bulgaria (Gastaron & Beshkov, 2010), where it is expanding its distribution (Kolev & Boudot, 2018), and Crete (Boudot et al, 2009, Boudot, 2014Stille et al, 2014;Boudot & Kalkman, 2015) and is now considered resident in the western Balkans and Greece (Boudot & Kalkman, 2015;Lopau, 2010;Vilenica et al, 2016). It is a very mobile nomadic species (Fraser 1936;Schneider 1981).…”

Data concerning a new reproductive population of Lindenia tetraphylla (Vander Linden, 1825 (Odonata Gomphidae), found by the authors in Molise, Central Italy, between 2012 and 2018, are here reported. The species was recorded in some artificial farm ponds of the inland agricultural area, where localized but conspicuous reproductive populations are annually found. A single sighting from 2017 is also reported from the Abruzzo region, where the species has never been recorded before. The data here discussed update the status for Italy and enlarge the known distribution area. All the sites where the species is found in Molise are listed and mapped, brief data concerning habitat used are also reported.
