This book is a beautifully illustrated and
comprehensive guide to the taxonomy and ecology of dragonflies in North,
Middle, and South America. A reference of the
highest quality, this book reveals the striking beauty and complexity of this
diverse order.Although Odonata—dragonflies and
damselflies—are among the most studied groups of insects, until now there has
been no reliable means to identify the New World
genera of either group. This volume provides fully illustrated and up-to-date
keys for all dragonfly genera with descriptive text for each genus, accompanied
by distribution maps and 1,595 diagnostic illustrations, including wing
patterns and characteristics of the genitalia. For entomologists, limnologists,
and ecologists, Dragonfly Genera of the New World is an indispensable
resource for field identification and laboratory research.

ix + 364 p. The Ohio Biological Survey is pleased to
announce the release of this new book on the dragonflies and damselflies of Ohio. This volume
represents the culmination of efforts by the Ohio Odonata Survey and Ohio
Odonata Society over the last ten years to collect and compile information
about the odonates of Ohio. The book contains chapters on
the natural history of odonates, a history of Ohio odonate
workers, 15 multiple-image color plates, illustrated keys and species

Orr. A.G. A Guide to the Dragonflies of Borneo:
Their Identification and Biology (2003). With 275 named species so far recorded
and doubtless many more yet to be discovered, Borneo
has one of the richest and most exciting dragonfly faunas in the world. More
than 40% of species occur nowhere else, making it the most distinctive
sub-region of Sundaland. It is home to such spectacular
species as Tetracanthagyna plagiata, the heaviest of all dragonflies, many
beautiful picture-winged chlorocyphids and euphaeids, and high-altitude endemics such as Matronoides cyaneipennis
restricted to Mount
Kinabalu
and nearby mountains. This, the first guide to Borneo’s
dragonflies, is also the most comprehensively illustrated account of any large
tropical dragonfly fauna yet published. Species are figured by photographs,
generally taken in nature, and half-wing coloured
drawings. Many are figured by both methods. About 60% of known species are
shown, including almost all the distinctive and common species likely to be
encountered by a casual visitor. Particular attention is given to the
identification of the common but difficult medium-sized red dragonflies of
which there are several. The text augments the illustrations and provides
useful information on biology.
Introductory chapters discuss structure and general biology, ecology and
conservation, faunistics and biogeography and
collecting techniques and photography. There is a complete and up to date
checklist. Illustrated keys to families of adults give the reader an
understanding of the structures used in classifying dragonflies and augment the
usefulness of the illustrations of entire insects. Main larval forms are shown.
This book will be useful not just in Borneo, but also in neighbouring
parts of south-east Asia. Publisher: Natural History Publications (Borneo) No. of Pages: x + 195 pp. Size: 18.5 x 25.5 cm

Geheimnisvolle Libellen [Jewelwings
Mysterious Dragonflies] (2006).’Using an original application of digital photography
which demands a dedicated patience, the authors have documented, in exquisite
detail, behaviors that we otherwise could never see. The photos are augmented
with a c. lear and
simple prose to explain the intricacies of the aquatic life cycle, adult prey
capture, courtship, mating and flight mechanics. Underwater photography
captures submerged egg-laying by females, and the ever-present dangers from
both predators and potential mates that may cost their lives.In
this collaboration with nature, art and science are combined in an alluring way
sure to stimulate a new generation of young researchers and enthusiasts.’ ..[Mit einer ausgefeilten
Digitaltechnik und ungeheurer
Geduld haben die Autoren Verhalten mit exquisiten Details dokumentiert, das bislang noch niemals zu
sehen war. Die Unterschriften
der Fotos erklären auf einfache Weise die Kompliziertheit des aquatischen Lebenszyklus, des Fluges, des Beutefangs, der Balz und Paarung.
Unterwasser-Fotografie fängt
die Eiablage der Weibchen ein. Viele
Bilder zeigen die lebensbedrohlichen Gefahren von Beutegreifern und potentiellen Partnern. Die Verknüpfung
von Natur, Kunst und Wissenschaft ist
in so reizvoller Weise zusammen gekommen, dass sie sicherlich
eine neue Generation von jungen Forschern und Naturliebhabern anregen wird. ] Prof. Dr. Ola M. Fincke, USA. ‘This rare
and beautiful book stands as a monument to the marriage of beauty and
science. It provides a rich feast −
for nature lovers in general, and for those with a special fondness for
dragonflies. The photographs, which are
of surpassing beauty, provide a penetrating insight into the life histories and
daily lives of some of Europe’s most handsome
dragonflies, the Jewelwings. Combining
their experience and superlative
skills as photographers and as observers of insect behaviour, Dagmar and Georg Rüppell have
produced a book destined to become a classic in its genre. Indeed, it will
serve as a milestone in the use of digital photography to document the behaviour
of insects in their natural surroundings. All nature lovers will be in
their lasting debt on this account.’[Mit diesem seltenen und schönen Buch wird einer
