Odonata at risk in conterminous United States and Canada.
By Bick, G.H.
Odonatologica 12(3): 209-226., 1983
Bick, G.H. 1983. Odonata at risk in conterminous United States and Canada. Odonatologica 12(3): 209-226.

Abstract
32 spp. (8% of the odon. fauna) considered to be at risk in the United States and Canada are assigned to Red Data Book categories as follows: Rare-20 (62%), Vulnerable-5 (16%), Endangered-3 (9%), Insufficiently known-3 (9%), Probably extinct-I (3%). Most (82%) of the threatened spp. are associated with flowing water. The loss of high-quality, undisturbed streams is the most significant actor endangering odonates in the US and Canada. The threatened spp. occur in 3 eastern Canadian Provinces and in 31 states, most of which are east of the Mississippi River.

Abstract. 
1. The overarching goal of United States wildlife action plans is to prevent wildlife from becoming endangered or declining to levels where recovery becomes unlikely. Effective plan implementation depends on establishing Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN), defined as wildlife species with small or declining populations or other characteristics that make them vulnerable.

Dragonflies of Texas is the definitive field guide to these insects. It covers all 160 species with in situ photographs and detailed anatomical images as needed.

Each species is given a two-page spread that includes photographs of both sexes and known variations when possible, key features, a distribution map, identification, discussion of similar species, status in Texas, habitat, seasonality, and general comments. Many of the groups also have comparative plates that show anatomically distinctive characteristics.

Dragonflies and Damselfies of Louisiana
By Michael L. Ferro, Katherine A. Parys, Matthew L. Gimmel, Gayle Strickland, Jeanell Strickland
Louisiana State Arthropod Museum, 2010
Celebrate the beauty and diversity of nature with this field guide to Louisiana’s dragonflies and damselflies. This level of detail can’t be found in any other guide currently available; it provides both top and side high resolution scanned images of 118 species of dragonflies and damselflies known from the state of Louisiana and adjoining states. All species are represented by life-sized images, and smaller species are shown as both life-sized and enlarged images. In addition, both male and female specimens are provided for most species. A photographic "head shot" of each species is also included and most species showing variation in color pattern are represented by multiple photographs.
