Publications

Each spring student members of the BI 301 General Ecology Lab design and carry out their own ecological research, and many take place at the Raystown Field Station, due to its diverse habitats, accessibility and the extensive past research that students can reference and further. Below are links to the Journal of Ecological Research, published by Dr. Douglas Glazier.

Prior to 2002, the Journal was published as a single unit, and direct links to articles pertaining to the RFS are not available at this time.
