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, disease state, or ecological environment
- Identify important researchers
- Other books and journal articles suggested by these books
- Jeffrey Levinton of SUNY Stony Brook has created a
website
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 article include a bibliography.
- Scan through a book that deals with the broad subject.
These books cover topics in marine ecology and have good literature cited
sections:
