Biological stations (also known as biological field stations) are research stations specializing in biology and ecology. Their size and purpose varies,[1] mainly regarding research, conservation and education.[2] They are located in all biomes, including aquatic ones. Students, other scientists and the public are the aim public of these sites. Many are focused on protected ecosystems.[3] Data from 157 field stations in 56 countries show that their presence improved habitat quality and reduced hunting rates and spatial analyses support field station presence as reducing deforestation.[4]
Many stations in the Americas are coordinated (but not owned, controlled or funded by) the Organization of Biological Field Stations.
