The ranking of the top three diverse National Parks until July 2025 is: (1) Picos de Europa (27sp); (2) Sierra de las Nieves (21sp); (3) Doñana (18sp).

Do you know what are the three National Parks that harbored the higher diversity of odonates in the first round of samlings?

Today we are starting the second round of samplings across the eight Iberian National Parks covered by the project LibelulAdapt. The first round of samplings was performed from May to the end of July of 2025. These two rounds are required to record as higher diversity as possible for each site.

LibelulAdapt is a project called "Dragonflies, a barometer of climate change in our National Parks" funded by @oapngob.bsky.social, which focuses on finding functional characteristics that make a species favored or harmed by climate change with the aim of anticipating its responses and conservation.

Last week we started the first sampling of the project LibelulAdapt at Tablas de Daimiel, it was so great!! We recorded lots of odonates and the Tablas were full of water!
