Coenagrion caerulescens

Description

Coenagrion caerulescens is a species of spider. It was first described by Etienne Laurent Joseph Hippolyte Boyer de Fonscolombe in 1838. Coenagrion caerulescens belongs to the genus Coenagrion, and family Coenagrionidae. The IUCN classifies the species as least related. There is no listed species like this. Coenagrion is a genus of damselflies in the family Coenagrionidae, commonly called the Eurasian Bluets (although three species are found in North America: Coenagrion angulatum, Coenagrion interrogatum, and Coenagrion resolutum). Species of Coenagrion are generally medium-sized, brightly coloured damselflies. This genus's capacity for phenotypically plastic responses to the surface air temperature is important to species' ranges. These thermal responses will also decide a great deal of these species' responses to climate change. Nilsson-Örtman et al., 2012 find a high degree of thermal adaptation in high latitude populations of Coenagrion. They found similar plasticity even for various sympatric species at the same locations, and despite the highly variable weather at such latitudes.
