What the #Dragonfly Knows https://nautil.us/what-the-dragonfly-knows-331829/

"They crisscross the globe in search of breeding and foraging grounds, and some species can travel at up to 30 miles an hour. In the process, #dragonflies connect distant #ecosystems and #FoodWebs—like other migrating #insects.

#Researchers have begun trying to trace their #MigratoryRoutes to better understand the impact they have on food cycles, the distribution of nutrients, #pollination, and the spread of disease-causing #microorganisms."

These #birds #travel across #continents & countries via many #international #migratory routes, in much the same way that airlines move across the world on designated routes. Three major #WildBird #MigratoryRoutes from #Asia & #Europe #transverse Nigeria. That’s good news for #biodiversity - #badnews for #disease control. #MigratoryBirds from Europe move into #Nigeria every year during the cold #harmattan season. This is the #PeakTime for #AvianFlu #outbreaks .
