The source of ecological information I have chosen to evaluate is Birds as mediators of passive restoration during early post-fire recovery from Biological Conservation, Volume 158.
Using the course information from the tutorial on how to evaluate sources of scientific information, I would classify this article as academic, peer-reviewed research material.This article contains in-text citations as well as a list of all cited literature. This article is research material because it contains materials and methods, results, and discussion sections. It is also peer-reviewed because it specifically mentions editors, as well as the dates the article was edited and then accepted.
