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

Reciprocal transport between ramets increases growth of Fragaria chiloensis when light and nitrogen occur in separate patches but only if patches are rich
Deb Friedman,Peter Alpert +1 more
TL;DR: Apparent reciprocal resource transport between ramets can enhance the growth of ramets with complementary resource deficiencies, but may affect growth in dry mass only when maximum resource levels are high.

Indirect effects of lemming cycles on sandpiper dynamics: 50 years of counts from southern Sweden
TL;DR: A link between lemming cyclicity in the Northern Hemisphere and predation pressure on Southern Hemisphere benthos is suggested, in which the signal is carried between continents by long distance migrating waders.

Ecological aspects, explosive range extension and impact of a mass invader, Corophium curvispinum Sars, 1895 (Crustacea: amphipoda), in the Lower Rhine (The Netherlands)
TL;DR: The increased salinity and water temperatures in the Lower Rhine resulting from industrial discharges have contributed to the current success of this southern species originating in brackish waters.

Quantitative trait loci for body weight, condition factor and age at sexual maturation in Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus): comparative analysis with rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar).

TL;DR: Significant MT QTL detected on AC-23, -24, and -27 were autonomous of any BW QTL regions, suggesting that the regulation of MT may be more independent of BW control within this species than in other species of salmonids.

TL;DR: Host-related ecological selection pressures that differentially adapt and reproductively isolate Rhagoletis to their respective host plants cascade through the ecosystem and induce host-associated genetic divergence for each of the three members of the parasitoid community.
