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

Dynamics of a small re-introduced population of wild dogs over 25 years: Allee effects and the implications of sociality for endangered species’ recovery
Michael J. Somers,Jan A. Graf,Micaela Szykman,Micaela Szykman,Rob Slotow,Markus Gusset,Markus Gusset +6 more
TL;DR: How aspects of a species’ social behaviour can influence the vulnerability of small populations to extinction is demonstrated and illustrates the profound implications of sociality for endangeredspecies’ recovery.

Shoot production in squash ( Cucurbita pepo) by in vitro organogenesis
TL;DR: Seedling-derived cotyledon explants of squash (Cucurbita pepo L.) of commercial cultivars True French, Ma'yan and Goldy were regenerated in vitro on Murashige and Skoog medium augmented with 1 mg/l benzyladenine to facilitate the recovery of shoots.

Qiangwei Xia,Erik L. Hendrickson,Yi Zhang,Tiansong Wang,Fred Taub,Brian C. Moore,Iris Porat,William B. Whitman,Murray Hackett,John A. Leigh +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported validation of quantitative protein level expression ratios on a proteome-wide basis using an approach based on quantitative multidimensional capillary HPLC and quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometry.

The influence of nectar secretion rates on the responses of bumblebees (Bombus spp.) to previously visited flowers
Jane C. Stout,Dave Goulson +1 more
TL;DR: The duration of flower avoidance was markedly different among flower species and was inversely related to nectar secretion rates, suggesting that the key parameters influencing bumblebee behaviour are those included in the model.

Effects of body size seed density and soil characteristics on rates of seed harvest by heteromyid rodents
Mary V. Price,Kevin M. Heinz +1 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that heteromyids can be expected to exhibit species-specific microhabitat preferences while foraging in nature, and that larger animals have higher harvest rates for a given set of conditions and experience a greater relative change in harvest rate for a give change in conditions.
