TLDR
The book aims to instill in students an ability to think through biological research problems in such a way as to grasp the essentials of the experimental or analytical setup to know which types of statistical tests to apply in a given case and to carry out the computations required.Abstract:
This text develops the science of biometry from an elementary introduction up to the advanced methods necessary for biological research and for an understanding of the published literature. This text is aimed primarily at the academic biologist including general zoologists botanists microbiologists geneticists and physiologists in universities research institutes and museums. This book while furnishing ample directions for the analysis of experimental works also stresses the descriptive and analytical statistical study of biological phenomena. It is intended both as a text to accompany a lecture course and as a complete course for self-study. The book aims to instill in students an ability to think through biological research problems in such a way as to grasp the essentials of the experimental or analytical setup to know which types of statistical tests to apply in a given case and to carry out the computations required. Chapters cover biological data data handling descriptive statistics probability estimation and hupothesis testing analysis of variance linear regression correlation multiple and curvilinear regression analysis of frequencies and miscellaneous methods.read more

Allometry and sexual selection of male weaponry in Wellington tree weta, Hemideina crassidens
TL;DR: A statistical examination of sexual dimorphism is presented, showing that traits related to head size are on average significantly larger in males, whereas trait related to body size is on averageificantly larger in females.

Population structure of the Spanish sardine Sardinella aurita : natural morphological variation in a genetically homogeneous population
TL;DR: It appears that for Spanish sardines, as for other clupeids, protein electrophoresis is useful in determining the evolutionary patterns of population structuring, and morphological analyses are of merit in studying short-term, environmentally induced variation.

A spatial genetic structure and effects of relatedness on mate choice in a wild bird population
TL;DR: Although the small‐scale genetic population structure suggests that blue tits could use a simple rule of thumb to select less related mates, females did not generally prefer more distantly breeding extra‐ Pair partners, and the proportion of young fathered by an extra‐pair male in mixed paternity broods depended on the genetic relatedness with the female.

Integrated nutrient management and waste recycling for restoring soil fertility and productivity in Japanese mint and mustard sequence in Uttar Pradesh, India
TL;DR: In this article, the results of field experiments were conducted for two years at two different locations (i.e. Lucknow and Pantnagar) in Uttar Pradesh, India, to assess the herb and essential oil yields of Japanese mint (Mentha arvensiscv. Hy 77), and its nutrient accumulation under single and combined applications of organic manures and inorganic fertilizers.
