## Abstract The aquatic larvae of anisopteran dragonflies possess tracheal gills located in the rectum. Using stereological methods, we estimated the morphometric diffusing capacity for oxygen (D~MO2~) across the gill epithelium, i.e., from rectal water to the gill tracheoles, in the larvae of __Ae
