Populations of this species were studied on the middle stretch of the Pitimbu River, Parnamirim municipality, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, during four discontinuous periods between 2002 and 2004. The objectives include the description of strategies and behaviors of both sexes, with especial interest in the intra-male competition for territories and females, the mate selection by females and the importance of male body size and other secondary characters on their reproductive success; from an adaptationist point of view. It was observed that the behavior of males and females in the reproductive areas are interrelated : the males came earlier to compete for the best territories and the females waited the result of that competition to be fertilized by dominants males, which preferably occupied areas near the river margin. The reproductive success of males with territories on the margin, estimated by number of copulations, ovipositions and days acting as territorial, was better than obtained by more separated territorial males and by satellite males. The body size of males is an important factor for the copulation and oviposition taxes and for the number of territorial days, favoring the biggest individuals. I also discuss the apparently importance of wing brilliance and wing integrity on male reproductive success. On inter-sexual relationships, I proved that females of D. obscura participate in mate selection, rejecting non-territorial males or substituting their sperm for other of higher status / Nesta tese discutem-se os aspectos ecol?gicos e comportamentais relativos ? reprodu??o do libelul?deo Diastatops obscura Fabricius, 1775, (Insecta: Odonata), em ambiente natural. Foram estudadas popula??es dessa esp?cie no trecho m?dio do rio Pitimbu, no munic?pio de Parnamirim, Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil, durante quatro per?odos descont?nuos entre os anos 2002 e 2004. Entre os objetivos encontram-se a descri??o e compreens?o das estrat?gias e comportamentos reprodutivos de ambos os sexos, com especial ?nfase na competi??o entre os machos pelo acesso aos territ?rios reprodutivos e ?s f?meas, a escolha de parceiro pelas f?meas e a implica??o do tamanho e de outros caracteres secund?rios dos machos no seu sucesso reprodutivo; tudo desde um ponto de vista adaptacionista. Foi observado que os comportamentos de machos e f?meas nas ?reas reprodutivas est?o inter-relacionados: os machos chegam antes para competir pelos melhores territ?rios e as f?meas aguardam o resultado dessa competi??o para serem fertilizadas pelos machos dominantes, que ocupam os territ?rios na margem do rio. O sucesso reprodutivo dos machos que mant?m territ?rios na margem, estimado a partir do n?mero de c?pulas e ovoposi??es conseguidas pelas suas parceiras, comprovou-se maior do que aquele dos machos defendendo territ?rios mais afastados ou dos machos sat?lites. O tamanho corporal dos machos mostrou-se um fator importante na taxa de c?pulas e ovoposi??es conseguidas, e no n?mero de dias atuando como territorial, favorecendo em todos os casos os indiv?duos maiores. Discute-se, tamb?m, a aparente import?ncia no sucesso reprodutivo do grau de brilho nas asas dos machos e da preserva??o da integridade das mesmas ao longo do tempo. Sobre as rela??es intersexuais, comprovamos que as f?meas maduras participam da escolha de parceiro, rejeitando machos n?o territoriais ou substituindo seu esperma pelo procedente de machos de mais alta hierarquia
