title: American ecologists: a biographical bibliography.
abstract: This paper includes sources of published biographical information on about 575 identified ecologists. There are over 2,400 references cited, providing a wealth of material covering the lives and work of ecological practitioners. Entries range from very short notices of death to somewhat longer obituaries and "Resolutions of Respect" to book-length biographies and autobiographies. The bibliography is alphabetical by individual, while referenced sources are alphabetical and thence chronological. It should be useful to historians, ecologists and historians of science, including biographers, as an entry into the voluminous literature on the development of ecological science.
