Toward a practical use of Neotropical odonates as bioindicators: Testing congruence across taxonomic resolution and life stages

- We assessed environmental factors driving larvae and adults of odonates.
- We evaluated the congruency between and within life-history stages.
- Larvae vs. adult and adult genera vs. species were congruent.
- Environmental variables were important to explain the congruence pattern.
- For operational reasons, adult genera are recommended in biomonitoring programs.
