Ausblick Die "Libellen Österreichs" ist schon rein äußerlich ein beeindruckendes Werk mit seinem nahezu an DIN A4 heranreichenden Format, einem Umfang von 345 Seiten und einem Gewicht von fast 1,7 kg. Aber auch inhaltlich werden der Bestand und die Verbreitung der Libellen Österreichs in einer sehr beeindruckenden, interessanten und überaus informativen Weise präsentiert. Nach einem kurzen einleitenden Kapitel - einschließlich Danksagungen und Nennung aller an der Entstehung des Buchs beteiligten Mitarbeiter - folgt ein sehr ausführliches Kapitel, das sich mit Erläuterungen zur Biologie der Libellen im Allgemeinen befasst. Auf ca. 30 Seiten werden die Systematik, die Phänologie von Libellen, Tagesrhythmik und Wärmeregulation, Verwandlung und Schlupf, Reifeperiode, Beutefang und Nahrung, die Fortpflanzungsbiologie sowie Entwicklung vom Ei über Vorlarve, Larve bis zur Imago geschildert. Im dritten Kapitel wird die Geographie des Bearbeitungsraums anhand der Aspekte Höhenstufen, Klimatypen, Landnutzung und Flusseinzugsgebiete vorgestellt. Die Kapitel 4 und 5 widmen sich der Datenerfassung und -auswertung. Diese Kapitel sind mit einer Vielzahl von sehr guten erläuternden Fotos und Graphiken illustriert. Das folgende Kapitel 6 "Verbreitung und Ökologie der Libellenarten in Österreich" enthält die Ergebnisse der jahrelangen, umfangreichen Arbeiten zur Erfassung. Am Beginn dieses Kapitels steht eine mehrseitige Liste der in Österreich vorkommenden Libellenarten. Es folgen ein kurzer Abriss über die Geschichte der Libellenfaunistik in Österreich sowie Begriffsdefinitionen, und schließlich folgen die Artenprofile. Die Profile aller 77 Libellenarten Österreichs umfassen 186 Seiten und erstrecken sich jeweils mindestens über zwei, bisweilen bis zu vier Seiten. An ihrem Beginn steht jeweils ein farbig unterlegter Infokasten mit knapp zusammengefassten Angaben zur Verbreitung und Häufigkeit der Art in Österreich. Die Artprofile sind gegliedert nach den Aspekten Verb.…
