The source of ecological information I have chosen is a scientific peer-reviewed research paper.
The paper is as follows:
Crothers, J. H. 1985. Dog-whelks: an introduction to the biology of Nucella lapillus (L.). 6: 291-360. https://learning.watfordboys.org/pluginfile.php/20239/mod_resource/content/2/Dogwhelk%20Biology%20Crothers.pdf
The author is an expert in the field as he has published several other studies in the field. He is part of the Field Studies Council in the UK. There are several in-text citations included in the paper. The paper also consists of a bibliography with a list of all the sources used. Furthermore, under the Acknowledgements section on page 45, the author lists the names of people who have reviewed the paper. The following is another one of several papers he has published:

Upon googling the author’s name, J. H. Crothers, a long list of published content can also be found with papers edited by him. Also one can find many of his papers in the Mendeley software.
