Coenagrion
Genus of damselflies
Coenagrion is a genus of damselflies in the family Coenagrionidae ,[ 2]
commonly called the Eurasian Bluets (although three species are found in North America : Coenagrion angulatum , Coenagrion interrogatum , and Coenagrion resolutum [ 3] ). Species of Coenagrion are generally medium-sized, brightly coloured damselflies.[ 4]

Thermal adaptation

Coenagrion .
This genus's capacity for phenotypically plastic responses to the surface air temperature is important to species' ranges.[ 13] These thermal responses will also decide a great deal of these species' responses to climate change .[ 13] Nilsson-Örtman et al. , 2012 find a high degree of thermal adaptation in high latitude populations of Coenagrion .[ 13] They found similar plasticity even for various sympatric species at the same locations, and despite the highly variable weather at such latitudes.[ 13]
