Abstract

Enallagma aspersum and E. traviatum (Odonata: Coenagrionidae) are the most abundant larval odonates in Bays Mountain Park, Tennessee. E. traviatum coexists with insectivorous fish in a small lake, whereas E. aspersum is restricted to a small fishless pond nearby. Experiments suggest that the distribution of E. aspersum larvae may be limited by fish predation. Although competitive interactions were detected, there was no evidence that larval competition influences the distribution of either species.-from Authors
