ODONATA REFERENCES

These references are associated with the book Dragonflies and Damselflies of the West, by Dennis Paulson, Princeton University Press, 2009.

The references will be primarily to publications on the natural history of the species, but some recent taxonomic papers will be included, mostly at the generic level. The references will furnish much more information than could be included in the book. References to larval ecology are not included. Information about many species can also be found in the general works cited in the List of References in the book itself.
