In this study, we evaluated the connection between thorax temperature and niche specialization concerning the abundance and species contribution to the beta diversity of adult Odonata in Amazonian streams, employing the Species Contribution to Beta Diversity (SCBD). Our hypotheses were (i) Odonata species\u2019 thorax temperature is positively correlated with both morphology (thorax width) and air temperature and differ between suborders. (ii) The thorax temperature of the Odonata assemblage serves as a more influential predictor than niche specialization in determining species abundance and SCBD. We sampled 46 streams in an anthropized landscape in the Northeastern and Southeastern regions of Par\u00e1 state, Brazil. Notably, niche breadth emerged as the variable influencing the abundance and SCBD of the Odonata assemblage. Niche position is negatively related with abundance only for Zygoptera. Anisoptera exhibited a negative relationship between abundance and thoracic temperature. On the other hand, Zygoptera had positive relationship between abundance and thoracic temperature. In summary, our results underscore the necessity of considering both niche and ecophysiological predictors to comprehensively assess the Odonata assemblage in Amazonian streams. This holistic approach has implications for conservation efforts and bioassessment practices, offering valuable insights into the collective response of Odonata as a group.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0311072","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,26]],"date-time":"2025-06-26T13:51:51Z","timestamp":1750945911000},"page":"e0311072","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Thorax temperature and niche characteristics as predictors of abundance of Amazonian Odonata"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Lenize Batista","family":"Calv\u00e3o","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ana Paula J.","family":"Faria","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carina Kaory Sasahara","family":"de Paiva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Max Barbosa","family":"Oliveira-Junior","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Javier","family":"Muz\u00f3n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5978-1660","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Alex","family":"C\u00f3rdoba-Aguillar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Leandro","family":"Juen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,26]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0311072.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"163","DOI":"10.1007\/s10750-009-9945-z","article-title":"The role of niche measures in explaining the abundance\u2013distribution relationship in tropical lotic chironomids","volume":"636","author":"T Siqueira","year":"2009","journal-title":"Hydrobiologia"},{"issue":"10","key":"pone.0311072.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1931","DOI":"10.1002\/ece3.1076","article-title":"Untangling the relationships among regional occupancy, species traits, and niche characteristics in stream invertebrates","volume":"4","author":"J Heino","year":"2014","journal-title":"Ecol Evol"},{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0311072.ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"205","DOI":"10.1007\/s00442-017-3988-z","article-title":"Predicting occupancy and abundance by niche position, niche breadth and body size in stream organisms","volume":"186","author":"MP Rocha","year":"2018","journal-title":"Oecologia"},{"key":"pone.0311072.ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"159","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ecolind.2018.12.029","article-title":"Niche position drives interspecific variation in occupancy and abundance in a highly-connected lake system","volume":"99","author":"A Vilmi","year":"2019","journal-title":"Ecological Indicators"},{"issue":"10","key":"pone.0311072.ref005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2914","DOI":"10.1890\/0012-9658(2000)081[2914:NSICAA]2.0.CO;2","article-title":"Niche separation in community analysis: A New Method","volume":"81","author":"S Dol\u00e9dec","year":"2000","journal-title":"Ecology"},{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0311072.ref006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"151","DOI":"10.1007\/s00442-016-3754-7","article-title":"Exploring species and site contributions to beta diversity in stream insect assemblages","volume":"183","author":"J Heino","year":"2017","journal-title":"Oecologia"},{"key":"pone.0311072.ref007","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"103164","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jtherbio.2021.103164","article-title":"Insect thermal limits in warm and perturbed habitats: Dragonflies and damselflies as study cases","volume":"103","author":"EU Castillo-P\u00e9rez","year":"2022","journal-title":"J Therm Biol"},{"issue":"1924","key":"pone.0311072.ref008","first-page":"20192645","article-title":"Why do bugs perish?
