Biology is the study of living organisms. Specialized fields enable the examination of species and processes from many different lenses--evolution and ecology, development, cell biology, genetics/genomics, and neuroscience. 

Biologists primarily produce and read:

• research articles in scholarly journals

Other popular sources of information include: books for foundational understanding of complex phenomena), protocols and methods for laboratory research, and dissertations, which are a source of research results in their own right, but also serve as models for graduate students embarking on their own seminal works

These indexes and databases are the ones most likely to be relevant to research in Biology. See A-Z Databases for a full list of available online databases.
