INHS Biological Notes

Illinois Natural History Survey Biological Notes have been published at irregular intervals since 1933. These are peer-reviewed scientific research findings presented in a less technical manner than the Bulletin of the Illinois Natural History Survey. Often, publications in this series will be a monograph on a specific species or upon the flora or fauna of a discrete habitat, watershed, or other natural area. College students, researchers, and natural resources policy makers will find this series useful. Become an exchange partner and trade publications with INHS!
