Indexes to Academic/Scholarly Articles for Fishery & Wildlife Biology

  • Agricola: 1970-present, updated monthly. Citations and abstracts for articles from over 600 periodicals, as well as USDA and state experiment station and extension publications. This extensive database provides selective worldwide coverage of primary information sources in agriculture, forestry, and related fields. The literature cited is primarily in English, but over one-third of the database comprises citations in Western European, Slavic, Asian, and African languages.

  • ASFA: Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts :1988-present, updated quarterly. SFA series is the premier reference in the field of aquatic resources. Input to ASFA is provided by a growing international network of information centers monitoring over 5,000 serial publications, books, reports, conference proceedings, translations and limited distribution literature. ASFA is a component of the Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Information System (ASFIS), formed by four United Nations agency sponsors of ASFA and two international partners.

  • The following ASFA databases are subfiles of ASFA Abstracts and can be searched on their own:
  • Biological Abstracts:1980-present, updated quarterly. Citations and abstracts for articles with national and international coverage. Includes agriculture, biotechnology, botany, ecology, and other biological science subject areas. Approximately 75% of the records include abstracts.

  • Biological Sciences: 1982-present, updated monthly. This interdisciplinary database offers abstracts and citations to a wide range of research in biomedicine, biotechnology, zoology and ecology, and some aspects of agriculture and veterinary science. Supporting over two dozen areas of expertise, this CSA database provides access to literature from over 6000 serials, as well as conference proceedings, technical reports, monographs and selected books and patents.

  • BioOne: 2000-present, with some journal coverage back to 1998. Updates vary depending on journal. BioOne is the product of innovative collaboration between scientific societies, libraries, academe and the private sector. BioOne brings to the Web a uniquely valuable aggregation of the full-texts of high-impact bioscience research journals. Most of BioOne’s titles are published by small societies and non-commercial publishers, and, until now, have been available only in printed form. BioOne provides integrated, cost-effective access to a thoroughly linked information resource of interrelated journals focused on the biological, ecological and environmental sciences.

  • CAB Abstracts: 1972-present, updated quarterly. This database covers the subject of agriculture in the broadest sense including biotechnology, crop protection, forestry, rural development, veterinary medicine, and other topics. Journals, monographs, conferences, books, annual reports, and other sources from more than 100 countries are included in the database. Nearly all the records have English abstracts.

  • Ecology Abstracts: 1969-present, updated monthly. Ecology Abstracts focuses on how organisms of all kinds - microbes, plants, and animals - interact with their environments and with other organisms. Included are relevant papers on evolutionary biology, economics, and systems analysis as they relate to ecosystems or the environment. With coverage ranging from habitats to food chains, from erosion to land reclamation, the journal provides an important cross-section of current findings in target research areas. Comprehensive, yet carefully focused coverage makes this an essential resource for scientists concerned with preserving the environment.

  • Environmental Sciences and Pollution Management: 1981-present, updated monthly. This multidisciplinary database, provides unparalleled and comprehensive coverage of the environmental sciences. Abstracts and citations are drawn from over 4000 scientific journals and thousands of other sources including conference proceedings, reports, monographs, books and government publications.

  • Wildlife & Ecology Studies Worldwide: 1935-present, updated monthly. Wildlife & Ecology Studies Worldwide is the world’s largest index to literature on wild mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians — over 500,000 bibliographic records, many include abstracts. The databases in this exclusive collection offer a global perspective and together form the ultimate resource on wildlife information. NISC’s unique composite records feature ensures access to all the citations without duplication. All aspects of wildlife and wildlife management are covered in this comprehensive volume. Approximately 18,000 records are added per year.

  • Web of Science: 1945-present, updated weekly. The Science Citation Index is a multidisciplinary database, with searchable author abstracts, covering the journal literature of the sciences, including forestry. It indexes more than 5,700 major journals across 164 scientific disciplines.

  • Zoological Record Plus: 1978-present, updated monthly. Zoological Record Plus (ZR Plus), produced by BIOSIS, provides extensive coverage of the world's zoological and animal science literature, covering all research from biochemistry to veterinary medicine. The database provides an easily searched collection of references from over 4,500 international serial publications, plus books, meetings, reviews and other non serial literature from over 100 countries. Zoological Record has long been recognized as the "unofficial register" for taxonomy and systematics, but other topics are also given comprehensive treatment using indexing in both controlled- and natural-language format. An online thesaurus of around 10,000 controlled terms arranged in hierarchies makes it easy to locate appropriate search terms. Scope notes and related term references are also provided.
