The Database

What is it?

The Odonate Phenotypic DataBase is a resource for dragonfly and damselfly phenotypes. The database consists of a variety of morphological, behavioural, and bio-geographical information collected from various sources.

The database is not intended for species identification, but for comparative analysis within the group or to be combined with data from other groups. If you would like the use the data for a quick comparative analysis, a good place to start would be to combine the data with the Odonate "Super"Tree.

All of the taxonomic names found in the database come from the World Odonata List.

The data from the database is free to use. If you would like to contribute the database you can contact us at calopteryxdata@gmail.com.The database is a project by John Waller, Beatriz Willink, Maximilian Tschol, and Erik Svensson.
