Conservation and population research
Compile comprehensive profiles of threatened or endangered species including IUCN status, population trends, habitat loss data, and active conservation programs. Support grant applications and policy briefs with current data.
Research the Amur leopard: current population estimate, key threats, active conservation programs, and what has worked in the last decade.
Wild population: ~100 individuals (2025 estimate, up from 30 in 2007). Key threats: habitat fragmentation and prey depletion. Land of the Leopard National Park established 2012 — credited with 3x population recovery. Current work: camera trap network covering 2,700km².

Population and trend visualization
Turn population census data, observation counts, and time-series records into publication-quality charts. Visualize trends for grant proposals, papers, and public education materials.
Create a line chart showing blue whale population estimates from 1920 to 2025, with markers for the 1966 International Whaling Commission moratorium.
Chart generated: population dropped from ~350,000 in 1920 to ~5,000 by 1968 (pre-moratorium low). Gradual recovery to ~25,000 estimated by 2025. Moratorium marker clearly annotated.

Frequently Asked Questions
What databases does Academic Research search for zoology papers?
Academic Research searches PubMed, Semantic Scholar, CrossRef, and arXiv, covering major ecology and zoology journals including Journal of Animal Ecology, Animal Behaviour, Conservation Biology, and Behavioral Ecology.
Can I use Deep Research to compile IUCN Red List data?
Deep Research synthesizes from multiple sources including IUCN summaries, academic papers, and news sources. For official IUCN Red List citations in publications, always verify directly on the IUCN website.
How useful is Places Search for remote field site planning?
Places Search works well for identifying national parks, research stations, lodging, and local services. For very remote areas, coverage may be limited — it works best for established field research regions with existing infrastructure.
Can Generate Chart work with my population census CSV data?
Yes — you can provide tabular data directly in your prompt and Generate Chart will produce bar, line, scatter, and other chart types suitable for publication figures and presentations.
Are grants for international fieldwork included?
Grants Finder covers opportunities from US (NSF, NIH, USDA), UK (NERC, BBSRC), Australian funding bodies, and major private foundations. International fieldwork grants are included where they appear in searchable databases.
