who contributed most significantly to what is known. You could also briefly discuss what

it work? Describe the mechanism of the disease and/or the key aspects of the
biology/physiology/ecology being discussed.
III. Future directions (approximately 300 words)
Finally, discuss the limitations of what is known about the topic and/or what scientists are trying

The REFERENCES page is alphabetized according to the authors last name. Each reference

indented by an inch. This is called a hanging indent. Please consult the Citation handout for
