Natural History and Ecology of Archbold Biological Station,
A Short BIBLIOGRAPHY

The Archbold Biological Station's Web site contains a growing body of information about the Station's history and programs. This short bibliography includes some important publications about the Station's history, geology, ecology, and biodiversity. The Station's scientific bibliography, STABIB, includes over 1,500 references (through 2004). The majority of the publications in the Station bibliography are based on research done on the Station's property and thus include the record of scientific information about Archbold Biological Station's ecosystems.

For readers at Archbold Biological Station. A set of reprints for almost all of the references below is assembled in a white notebook ( call number: 574.5/975.9/ABS) and shelved in the Library Reading Room in the Florida Reference Section (Row 13). The reprints are stored in numerical order using the number at the end of each citation in the list below.

No bibliography is ever complete. Please send your corrections, additions, or comments to the compiler. Thank you.
