ODONATA REFERENCES
These references are associated with the books Dragonflies and Damselflies of the West, 2009, and Dragonflies and Damselflies of the East, 2011, by Dennis Paulson, Princeton University Press.
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 books themselves.
References added through 2007; updates planned.
