"Male dragonflies are known to engage in mid-air “dogfights” to defend their breeding territory, using different maneuvers than those they employ when hunting prey. A new paper published in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface concluded that relatively simple rules drive that behavior, namely that male dragonflies are trying to maintain a tactical position. This mirrors the tactics of human fighter pilots." https://arstechnica.com/science/2026/07/dragonflies-maneuver-like-fighter-pilots/ #Dragonflies #Behaviour #Biology
