Austin R. Kelly

I'm a PhD student in Ecology at Texas A&M University and an ecological consultant. My work in botany, ecology, and conservation gives me a strong foundation for contributing to Wikipedia. My primary goal is to improve articles related to my field, ensuring they are accurate, well-sourced, and accessible.

My Contributions

I'm a Wikipedia contributor with a focus on creating and improving articles within my field of expertise. Some of my recent work includes:

Article Creation: I've created several new articles for the encyclopedia, including a page for the notable ecologist Bradford P. Wilcox, the page for Society for Range Management, and a page for the orchid species Microthelys rubrocallosa.

Article Expansion and Sourcing: I have made substantial additions and improvements to pages like S.M. Tracy Herbarium, enriching the content with new information and reliable citations.

Linking Articles: I have made edits to connect new and existing pages, such as adding a link to the new Bradford P. Wilcox article on the List of Texas Tech University alumni page to address its orphan status.
