Conservation biology, ecology, zoology, etc.
Research Profile Link: ResearchGate
Below are some selected research papers (in no particular order) that I wrote during my time as an undergraduate biology student. Clicking on one will open the document up as a web page. Topics range anywhere from ecology and zoology to biodiversity, evolutionary biology, marine biology, oceanography, population genetics, and other interdisciplinary natural sciences. I've also included a couple of collated data sheets at the very bottom. These are available for anyone interested in learning more about the natural world. Just be sure to cite accordingly if you decide to use anything for your own paper. Enjoy!
