Title Habitat connectivity: Investigation of the dragonfly fauna in the locality of a Sphagnum farming site
Description

Since several years we are investigating the dragonfly fauna of a Sphagnum farming site close to Oldenburg as part of ongoing projects on the cultivation of peatmoss (MOOSWEIT, OptiMOOS, MOOSland).  The aim of this thesis is to investigate the dragonfly fauna of surrounding bogs habitats (renaturated, degraded etc.) and to assess the habitat connectivity. Comparison data from a previous study is available.

Extent of the field work depends on the type of thesis

Selection of sampling sites

Monitoring (independently) of imagines and exuviae

Determination of exuviae in the lab

Evaluation of own and further available data

Requirement

Prior knowledge of dragonfly determination is beneficial but not crucial

possibility to reach the sampling sites independently is obligatory

The field work is conducted in the surrounding of Moorseiter Str. 37, 26939 Ovelgönne (about 6-9 km radius)
