For this post, I read “Search strategies in rural and urban environment during natal dispersal of the red squirrel.” This article is academic, peer-reviewed research material. I can tell that it is research material because the authors included a “materials and methods” section, as well as a “results” section, which is indicative of a research study rather than a review. It is academic because it is published in an academic journal: Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, and written by scientists in the biology department of the University of Turku. It also has a bibliography and in-text citations. It is published in a peer-reviewed journal and the authors give thanks to their anonymous peer-reviewers in the acknowledgments section, so this paper is clearly peer-reviewed.
