Statistical ecology : a population perspective / by Young, Linda J.,1952-(CARDINAL)331643; Young, Jerry H.,1931-(CARDINAL)331642;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 531-545) and index.Covering a wide range of disciplines, this book explains the formulae, techniques, and methods used in field ecology. By providing an awareness of the statistical foundation for existing methods, the book will make biologists more aware of the strengths and possible weaknesses of procedures employed, and statisticians more appreciative of the needs of the field ecologist. Unique to this book is a focus on ecological data for single-species populations, from sampling through modeling. Examples come from real situations in pest management, forestry, wildlife biology, plant protection, and environmental studies, as well as from classical ecology. This textbook is for late undergraduate and graduate students, and for professionals.
