Description
1) Define the topic of your term paper with one or more tentative titles. Such as
The allometry and regulation of heart rate among birds
The mechanisms and evolution of water balance organs among terrestrial arthropods
Biochemical adaptation of enzymes in of birds to respiration at high elevations
2) Read one of the most important/interesting papers you have found. Upload a copy of the paper.
The file name of the pdf needs to include author data and title so it should be something like Ezenwa et al. 2009. A reliable body condition scoring technique for estimating condition in African buffalo.pdf. If the title is Aamx3345.pdf both of us will have trouble finding it later.
3) Write 2 to 4 sentences about the paper that you think are key to your term paper.
Here is an example of the kinds of sentences I image you writing.
Heinrich et al (1987) claim that only insects above 100 mg in body mass can maintain body temperatures significantly above ambient temperate. They present empirical measurements to support their assertion. Honeybees and some halictid bees can have thoracic temperature 20°C above air temperature. They cite other papers in which insects during flight, namely beetles and some flies in the 200 mg range can have body temperatures of 35 °C with the air temperatures of only 20°C .
4) Include a bibliography of 50 potential papers that you think are most relevant to your paper (see example below). I suggest using Google scholar and the Mendeley.

1) Define the topic of your term paper with one or more tentative titles. Such as
The allometry and regulation of heart rate among birds
The mechanisms and evolution of water balance organs among terrestrial
arthropods
Biochemical adaptation of enzymes in of birds to respiration at high elevations
2) Read one of the most important/interesting papers you have found. Upload a
copy of the paper.

Instructions for getting the references from Google scholar to Mendeley and then to
export the references to turn in.
See the instructions here https://umb.libguides.com/mendeley
Mendeley can save you time in the long run. Otherwise, I recommend cut and paste
from Google scholar and then checking the data to make sure it is complete and that
species names are italicized correctly
The references should look something like this. I am not strict about the particular
format you use (many are available), however, keep the same format throughout the
document.
