Although the endemic damselfly, Platycnemis subdilatata Selys, 1849, is widespread in the Maghreb, many aspects of its reproductive behaviour, biology and ecology are still unstudied. One particular feature of this species is that its coloration pattern continues to change during maturation and afterwards, which makes it a good model for assessing age effects on behavioural and biological components. This study aims first to investigate the reproductive behaviour and choice of oviposition site, and second to assess clutch size and egg deposition rate as a function of age in a natural population located in North-East Algeria during the reproductive season of 2012. Males seized females next to reproductive sites and in foraging sites. Non-rec...
