Tribulus Vol. 13.2. pp. 14-22. http://www.enhg.org/trib/V13N2/TribulusV13N2p14-22.pdf Abstract Aquatic macroinvertebrates were collected from six habitats in two permanently flowing sites in Wadi Qahfi, northern Oman. A total of 38 taxa were identified, many to taxonomic levels previously unrecorded for aquatic fauna in Arabia. Overall richness was comparable between all habitats sampled. While very little regional information is available for identification of aquatic macroinvertebrates, the combination of regional descriptive information with foreign keys for aquatic stages has proven to be a valuable approach. Recommendations are made for appropriate levels of classification for the major taxonomic groups, and references are provided to assist in identification.

| Article: Jödicke, R., J.-P. Boudot, G. Jacquemin, B. Samraoui & W. Schneider: Critical species of Odonata in North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula: International Journal of Odonatology Volume 7.2 pp.239-253 http://ijo.tu-bs.de/Abstracts/7(2)_239.pdf Abstract The region is broadly determined by desert, which forms a huge belt between the western Palaearctic and the Afrotropics. Fourteen out of the 125 odonate species recorded so far are endemics. There are two main centres of endemism in the region: the northern Maghreb and the southern Arabian Peninsula. Odonate habitats in the desert are especially endangered by dryness and pollution. Fourteen species – most of them endemics – are regarded as critical. Conservation measures are suggested.
