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

Body size as a factor determining dominance in staged agonistic encounters between male brown anoles (Anolis sagrei)
TL;DR: The results of staged agonistic encounters between males indicate that body size is an important determinant of dominance in male brown anoles (Anolis sagrei).

How do visitation patterns vary among pollinators in relation to floral display and floral design in a generalist pollination system
TL;DR: Hawkmoths were the only insect type to show a positive relation between the number of flowers visited per foraging bout and flower size, and this may act to diversify selection on floral traits, and thereby constrain specialisation of the plant to particular pollinators.

Implication of systemic induced resistance in the suppression of Fusarium wilt of tomato by Pseudomonas fluorescens WCS417r and by nonpathogenic Fusarium oxysporum Fo47.
TL;DR: The analysis of the results indicates that the suppression of fusarium wilt by P. fluorescens WCS417r was ascribed to systemic induced resistance without any detection of the PR-proteins tested (PR-1 and chitinases) and the suppression achieved by nonpathogenic F. oxysporum Fo47 appeared to be mainly ascribing to microbial antagonism but also to a lesser extent to systemicinduced resistance.

From Classical to Canonical Ordination
TL;DR: The simple or classical ordination methods mostly used by palaeoecologists and palaeolimnologists are principal component analysis (PCA) and correspondence analysis (CA) as mentioned in this paper.
