“…For example, the known geographic distribution of extant and extirpated populations of the federally endangered dragonfly Somatochlora hineana Williamson (Odonata: Corduliidae) is depicted in Figure 1. The geographic distribution of this species is limited by restrictive habitat requirements that include wetlands with calcareous seepage flow (Cashatt & Vogt, 2001;Vogt & Cashatt, 1994), the presence of crayfish burrows that nymphs use as refugia (Pintor & Soluk, 2006;Soluk et al, 2000), and nearby meadows or pasture for adult foraging (Foster & Soluk, 2006 Table S4) cattail marshes, sedge meadows, and fens (Cashatt & Vogt, 2001;Foster & Soluk, 2006;Pintor & Soluk, 2006;Vogt & Cashatt, 1994), but these Hine's emerald dragonfly (HED) habitats will all be referred to as 'fens' in this paper as fens are the exclusive HED habitat in the Ozarks and the most common HED habitat in the Great Lakes region. Most fen habitat in the contiguous United States is found in the Great Lakes region.…”
