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

TL;DR: The present modelling approach represents a simplification of factors determining the distribution of cereal crops, and also some uncertainties in the data basis were apparent, and a promising way of future model improvement could be through a systematic analysis and inclusion of other variables, such as key soil properties and socio-economic conditions, influencing the comparative advantages of specific crops.

Abundance and length polymorphism of microsatellite repeats in Beta vulgaris L.
TL;DR: The development of simple sequences as STSs for Beta vulgaris, which comprises wild, cultivated, and weedy forms; the latter are thought to originate from accidental hybridisation between the other two.

Effectiveness of using vascular plants to select reserves for bryophytes and lichens
TL;DR: The results indicate that, on a local scale, reserves selected for vascular plants can capture large percentages of bryophytes and lichens, however individual sites important for bryphyte and lichen conservation may not be important for vascular plant conservation.

TL;DR: This article conducted a systematic review of 502 articles published between 2000 and 2016 to characterize the research on human-carnivore relations according to (i) temporal and geographical distribution, (ii) biology, (iii) relations between carnivores and humans, (iv) social actors, (v) drivers of change, (vi) management, and (vii) applied methods.

Predation and the elevation of thoracic temperature in brightly colored neotropical butterflies
Robert B. Srygley,Peng Chai +1 more
TL;DR: The association of flight temperature and palatability within monophyletic lineages and the convergence of flight temperatures and color patterns among those lineages provide additional evidence that natural selection by predation has resulted in the evolutionary association ofPalatability and thoracic temperatures of butterflies in a Neotropical rain forest.
