Abstract
The current study explores the differences between discipline-focused abstracting services such as Ecology Abstracts and Ecological Abstracts and comprehensive life science databases such as Biological Abstracts. It surveys the indexing of 71 “core” ecology journals by Ecological Abstracts, Ecology Abstracts, Biological Abstracts, Wildlife Review/Fisheries Review, and Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts (ASFA). A search on “ecosystem management” reveals the unique contributions discipline-focused services can bring to the research process.
