The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Lack of innate preference for morph and species identity in mate-searching Enallagma damselflies (2007, background): “A male’s reaction to either or both can be tested, depending on the experimental design (e.g., Miller and Fincke 1999; and Van Gossum et al. 2001a, respectively).”
The evolution and frequency of female color morphs in Holarctic Odonata: why are male-like females typically the minority? (2005, background): “; Ischnura, Van Gossum et al. 2001b), and that male harassment towards morphs is frequency dependent (Van Gossum et al. 2001c).”
Hybridization and the inheritance of female colour polymorphism in two ischnurid damselflies (Odonata: Coenagrionidae) (2005, background): “Female morph fitness correlates are influenced not only by morph frequency, but also by population density and sex ratio ( Van Gossum et al., 2001b ).”
Polymorphic signals of harassed female odonates and the males that learn them support a novel frequency-dependent model (2004, background): “For example, the juvenile colour form that is characteristic of many female coenagrionids (see Dunkle 1990) may signal a female's sexual immaturity and usually her lack of receptivity (e.g. Fincke 1987; but see Van Gossum et al. 2001c; Sirot et al. 2003).”
