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

Some misconceptions about the spurious correlation problem in the ecological literature
Yves T. Prairie,David F. Bird +1 more
TL;DR: The problem is reconsidered from 3 viewpoints: first, the confusion between spurious correlation and spurious inference, second, the problem of concept familiarity and definition, with particular reference to the self-thinning rule for plants, and third, a legitimate concern with measurement error of shared variable components.

Impaired social brain network for processing dynamic facial expressions in autism spectrum disorders.
TL;DR: These results suggest that weak activity and connectivity of the social brain network underlie the impairment in social interaction involving dynamic facial expressions in individuals with ASD.

Peripapillary chorioretinal atrophy: Bruch's membrane changes and photoreceptor loss.
TL;DR: The results suggest that peripapillary chorioretinal atrophy is an age-related degeneration of the RPE-Bruch's membrane complex that resembles that found in the macula and periphery of normal eyes.

Prevalence and Intensity of Intestinal Parasites in Mantled Howling Monkeys (Alouatta palliata) in Northeastern Costa Rica: Implications for Conservation Biology
TL;DR: The prevalence of parasitic infection observed in howlers at La Selva (100%) is higher than has been reported for bowlers in a dry deciduous forest at La Pacifica, Costa Rica (47%).
