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

Larval transport pathways from Cuban snapper (Lutjanidae) spawning aggregations based on biophysical modeling
TL;DR: The potential linkages among Cuba and geographically associated northwestern Caribbean locations were examined through simulated transport of snapper larvae for 5 harvested snapper species, suggesting considerable levels of self-recruitment in Cuban snapper populations, in partic- ular, those from the southern and north-central regions.

Kinematics of the glenohumeral joint: Influences of muscle forces, ligamentous constraints, and articular geometry
TL;DR: Investigation of shoulder motions investigated the key factors that control shoulder motions, finding joint conformity appears to play a role in controlling translations during active motions, whereas capsular constraints become more important during passive motions.

Validation of Abundance Estimates from Mark–Recapture and Removal Techniques for Rainbow Trout Captured by Electrofishing in Small Streams
TL;DR: Estimation of fish abundance in streams using the removal model or the Lincoln– Peterson mark–recapture model is a common practice in fisheries and the results suggested that abundance estimates based on this approach were unbiased.

Spatial fidelity of plant, vertebrate, and invertebrate assemblages in multiple-use forest in eastern Australia
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the spatial fidelity of ground-active invertebrate (ants and several beetle families): Carabidae, Scarabaeidae, Pselaphidae), vascular plant, and vertebrate assemblages (birds, small mammals, frogs, and reptiles) at 56 sites in a range of eastern Australian forest types.

Reproductive Tactics of Male Savanna Baboons
Ronald Noë,Albertha A. Sluijter +1 more
TL;DR: A modification of the model is presented, which allows for coalition formation among males that are too low in rank to be successful on their own, and could not fully explain, however, the exceptional success of some middle ranking males.
