Information on database coverage:

Wildlife & Ecology Studies Worldwide� (1935 & earlier to the present), is the world's largest index to literature on wild mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians.

More than 670,388 bibliographic records are included, many of which include abstracts. Most of the records in this database are from Wildlife Review abstracts, formerly Wildlife Review, which until 1996 was a print publication produced by the U.S. National Biological Service. Journals, books, conference proceedings, government reports (including those of U.S. state agencies), theses, dissertations, and grey literature publications are indexed. Approximately 18,000 records are added per year.

Wildlife Review Abstracts offers a global perspective and is the most comprehensive resource on wildlife information. Major topic areas include studies of individual species, habitat types, hunting, economics, wildlife behavior, management techniques, diseases, ecotourism, zoology, taxonomy and much more. Many researchers turn to this popular database when they cannot find what they need anywhere else.
