Journal Article
AGGREGATE MATING BEHAVIOR OF SYMPETRUM DRAGONFLIES IN COLORADO AND WYOMING WILDFIRE PERIMETERS
2025
Overview
Aggregations of dragonflies engaging in copulation were observed in Sympetrum internum dragonflies and potentially other Sympetrum species. On four separate occasions in Colorado and Wyoming during the 2023 summer, Sympetrum species were found copulating in groups of three to >10 pairs at ponds located within the perimeters of recent wildfires. While post-copulatory aggregations have been described for Sympetrum species, aggregatory behavior during mating remains less well documented in any dragonfly species. Future research should explore the taxonomic prevalence of aggregate copulation in dragonflies and the ecological or social drivers that might favor or oppose its expression.
