SUMMARY:

Anthropogenic actions have resulted in an extreme reduction/modification of habitats, including aquatic environments. These variations can influence the occurrence and permanence of organisms in certain places, since the absence of adaptable attributes necessary for survival can result in the replacement and extinction of species. Thus, our study sought to determine the relationship between an environmental change gradient and the functional structure of adult Odonata assemblages in riparian zones in the Cerrado-Caatinga ecotone region. Total length, trunk width, abdomen length, forewing length and width and the environmental variables canopy cover, width and depth were considered. We found that more open areas, with loss of vegetation, suffered larger insects, with changes in vegetation being the main predictors of the structure of Odonata assemblages. This shows the selection of insects with specific characteristics to the detriment of other groups, which can lead to homogenization of biodiversity and functional loss. Therefore, the conservation and management of riverside areas is essential to guarantee the biodiversity of Odonata, preserving the different behavioral and ecophysiological groups that the order presents.
