We used the mark-recapture method to gather fundamental information on the population dynamics of  Ischnura elegans  (Vander Linden,  1820 ) in an arid region of central Iran.  Ischnura elegans  expresses female-limited colour polymorphism. We investigated sex and female morphs differences in survival and capture probabilities, space use patterns and spatial density. We used Cormack–Jolly–Seber and spatial capture-recapture models. The estimated capture probability for males was lower than females. The survival probability was not different between either males and females or gynomorphs and andromorphs. We found support for sex differences in density and detection probability, and female morphs differences in density, space use and detection probability. Based on our results the extreme conditions of arid regions can lead to a male-biased dispersal. Our findings also confirm the existence of behavioural differences between andromorph and gynomorph females and suggest a within species spatial habitat partitioning.
