Biological sciences
This interdisciplinary database offers abstracts and citations to a wide range of research in biomedicine, biotechnology, zoology and ecology, and some aspects of agriculture and veterinary science. Supporting over two dozen areas of expertise, this CSA database provides access to literature from over 6000 sources including serials, conference proceedings, technical reports, monographs and selected books and patents.
Biology digest
Contains abstracts covering air and water pollution, anatomy, bacteriology, behavioral science, biochemistry, botany, cell biology, climatology, crop science, ecology, education, energy resources, embryology, entomology, epidemiology, evolution, forestry, genetics, hydrobiology, immunology, medicine, nutrition, pharmacology, physiology, phytopathology, population studies, protozoology, public health, soil science, species preservation, toxicology, transmission of disease, veterinary medicine, virology, and zoology. Coverage is from 1989 - current.
BIOSIS previews
Issued as a part of the ISI Web of Knowledge, the database covers original research reports and reviews in biological and biomedical areas. Coverage includes traditional areas of biology such as botany, zoology, and microbiology, as well as related fields such as biomedical, agriculture, pharmacology, and ecology. Also included are interdisciplinary fields such as medicine, biochemistry, biophysics, bioengineering, and biotechnology. The database covers content summaries, books, meeting abstracts, papers, and posters. BIOSIS also combines the content from Biological Abstracts and Biological Abstracts/RRM.
Encyclopedia of life sciences
Contains introductory, secondary, and special essays on 14 main subject areas: biochemistry, cell biology, clinical medicine, developmental biology, ecology, evolution and diversity of life, functional and comparative morphology, genetics and molecular biology, immunology, microbiology and virology, neuroscience, plant science, structural biology, and science and society. Updated articles and new articles are added monthly.
