About Zotero

Zotero is an open-source program for managing research documents. It allows users to:

• Add citations and PDFs from your browser
• Annotate your PDFs
• Share group libraries with others
• Generate a bibliography from selected items in your chosen citation style

You'll be citing documents using the Ecology journal style. Here are two sample citations from the Literature Cited section of an article published in Ecology. Your citations should be in the same format.

Brenes-Arguedas, T., A. B. Roddy, P. D. Coley, and T. A. Kursar. 2011. Do differences in understory light contribute to species distributions along a tropical rainfall gradient? Oecologia 166:443-456.

Mitchell-Olds, T., and J. Schmitt. 2006. Genetic mechanisms and evolutionary significance of natural variation in Arabidopsis. Nature 441:947-952.

If you're using Zotero, you can add this citation style to your export options.
