Background Resources
As you look through these sources listed here, keep an eye out for the
following information to help you in locating additional resources:
- Terms and phrases used to describe your topic. The English language
uses many synonyms.
- Identify parameters such as taxonomic classification, geographic
location, or ecological environment
- Identify important researchers
- Identify other books and journal articles suggested by these books
Jeffrey Levinton of SUNY Stony Brook has created a
web site
of reading lists for selected topics in marine biology. This is an excellent
starting point.
The
Encyclopedia of Life Sciences covers all areas of biology.The
search interface is a little clunky. All articles include a bibliography.
Scan through a book that deals with the broad subject.
These books cover topics in marine invertebrate zoology and have good literature

at review articles, which summarize an area of research. In addition, this
type of article typically has a lengthy bibliography. Some titles to look
at are:
