Over the world, forests provide diverse habitats for a range of organisms, including dragonflies and other animals, that at a first sight seem not to depend on forests. For instance, Macromia splendens, one of Europe's most endangered dragonflies (cover), uses forest roads as hunting places, and larvae are sometimes found amongst tree roots. As the authors of this book show, dragonflies are highly dependent on forest cover and composition, and this is true from the boreal forests to the tropics. The aim of this book is therefore to explore the ways in which forests affect dragonfly life, and to show that forests are much more than places where timber is produced.
