Papers in PDF Versions

The following papers are available here as Adobe Acrobat PDF files. Some of the papers at my website, http://bill.silvert.org/, are drafts, so I have collected final versions in PDF form here along with some others best read in PDF form.

A few of the of my earlier physics papers (PDFs, a few titles and abstracts) are included for background.

This is a complete listing of papers in the fields of fisheries and ecology, although only a few have links to PDF files. More will be added if they become available. Also some papers are available in HTML format on my website, http://bill.silvert.org/. Not all of the PDFs are final versions, some are proof copies.
