The Bibliography
This page provides access to the current, updated version of the bibliography of the Soqotra Archipelago. This was originally compiled by the Royal Botanical Garden Edinburgh (RGBE) Soqotra Team, and was based largely on material collected by Dr. Michael Gwynne, who kindly made his work available to the team [cf. numbers in brackets at the end of a reference]. There are nearly 1500 references in the bibliography and it will continue to expand as new references are submitted.
The updated bibliography provides references to scientific research, as well as to other publications on Soqotra, and historical references to earlier travelers’
accounts. In additon, there is a certain ammount of "grey" literature dealing with Soqotra. PDFs of scientific literature from this website can only be download if they
are "open-access" or authorised.
