author
Best known here as a coauthor of a field-study work on Mexican wildlife, this writer appears in the record more as a scientific contributor than as a widely documented public literary figure. The available sources point to a specialized academic publication rather than a broad biographical trail.

by Richard F. Johnston, Gerald G. Raun, Robert K. Selander, B. J. Wilks
B. J. Wilks is listed as a coauthor of Vertebrates from the Barrier Island of Tamaulipas, México, a zoological work credited alongside Richard F. Johnston, Robert K. Selander, and Gerald G. Raun.
Publicly available biographical information appears to be very limited. In the sources I could confirm, the clearest record is bibliographic: Project Gutenberg and commercial book listings both identify B. J. Wilks as an author or coauthor of that title.
Because reliable personal background details were not readily confirmed, it is safest to describe B. J. Wilks as a contributor to scientific writing rather than add uncertain information about career, dates, or life history.
