Author: Dragonfly Atlas: Megan Loftie-Eaton, Ryan Tippett, Rene Navarro & Les Underhill

Ryan Tippett is an enthusiastic contributor to Citizen Science and has added many important and interesting records of fauna and flora, with a specialist interest in the dragonflies and damselflies. Rene Navarro is the genius behind the information systems upon which this study is based. Megan Loftie-Eaton assembled the material for the species texts for the Odonata. Prof Les Underhill is a Director of the Biodiversity and Development Institute. Although citizen science in biology is Les’s passion, his academic background is in mathematical statistics.
