Interestingly, this report is not cited, so either both used the same source somewhere during creation, or there is something a bit more complex going on...eiher way, enjoyable read by a very knowledgeable author, but not particularly information rich for the type of report we are going for.)

	Ecology			Sources Used Welcome to the ever necessary (and often useful), somewhat tedious compilation of the sources used and discovered while doing the research contained on this site. Where content was extracted from a source and used on this site, I will do my best to either post a link or leave a short description of why content was not taken. For all sources where I read enough to make informed conclusions, I will do my best to make note of perspectives and bias that informs the writing or image, as well as highlight sources that are particularly useful or exciting. Where a resource comes from a publication that is not peer reviewed, I will articulate the thought process that went into believing some or all of the information and /or arguments presented. I am going to do try and spend more time researching than articulating why sources were selected or rejected, so if there is something you would like more information on, please contact me! As always, good human contact is a most excellent.
