For sources of scientific information, the ecological article that I chose is, “Habitat loss and fragmentation affecting mammal and bird communities—The role of interspecific competition and individual space use.” This is an online article that I found using TRU library. Here is the link to this interesting article:
Carsten M. Buchmann, Frank M. Schurr, Ran Nathan, Florian Jeltsch; Habitat loss and fragmentation affecting mammal and bird communities—The role of interspecific competition and individual space use, Ecological Informatics, Volume 14, 2013, Pages 90-98, ISSN 1574-9541, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoinf.2012.11.015. (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1574954112001252)
It is classified as an academic, peer-reviewed research material. This article is written by an expert in the field, which includes bibliography and in-text citations in the end section, which makes it an academic material. Field study has been done in the methods section of the article, demonstrating it is peer-reviewed. In acknowledgment section, N. Blaum and E. Rosmanith and other members were thanked for reviewing this article before publishing it, meaning it is peer-reviewed. It has nice and detailed section where it mentions the results of the study and methods authors used in the article, so it is an academic, peer-reviewed research material.
Good job!
