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

Drone & Wo: Cultural Influences on Human-Drone Interaction Techniques
TL;DR: This study replicated this study in China to gain insight into how user-defined interactions vary across the two cultures, and found that as per the US study, Chinese participants chose to interact primarily using gesture, but Chinese participants used multi-modal interactions more than their US counterparts.

TL;DR: Assessment of coral cover data across latitudes 10–35°S along the west Australian coast, including 25 years of data from the Ningaloo region, identifies regions where quantitative time-series data on coral cover and composition are lacking, particularly in north-western Australia.

Variability and Cryptic Heteromorphism of Ambrosia artemisiifolia Seeds: What Consequences for its Invasion in France?
TL;DR: The capacity of A. artemisiifolia to be invasive in Europe appears to be high, possibly due to its huge plasticity in seed mass which may help it to cope with a wide range of conditions and to establish in disturbed habitats.

Habitat requirements of the seabird tick, Ixodes uriae (Acari: Ixodidae), from the Antarctic Peninsula in relation to water balance characteristics of eggs, nonfed and engorged stages

TL;DR: It is concluded that I. uriae is adapted for life in a moisture-rich environment, and this requirement is met by clustering in moist, hydrating, microhabitats under rocks and debris that contain moisture levels that are higher than the tick’s critical equilibrium activity.

Assessing the influence of different ROI selection strategies on functional connectivity analyses of fMRI data acquired during steady-state conditions.
TL;DR: The objective of the present study was to assess the variability in estimates of functional connectivity induced by different anatomical choices of ROI locations for a given brain network and it is shown that functional connectivity within the DMN decreased during the continuous working memory task compared to rest.
