Statistical ecology: The quantitative exploration of Nature to reveal the unexpected

The book's topics traverse many problem areas in univariate and multivariate data analysis, focussed on current ecological practice. The manner of presentation emphasizes reasoned methodological choices and encourages innovations consistent with the objectives, but mindful of the need to see clearly the regularity conditions which set limits for valid application of statistics in Ecology. The main text is accompanied by external appendices including a technical manual, 47 specialized application programs, and many data files taken from the exercises in the main text.
