Experiments in ecology : their logical design and interpretation using analysis of variance / A. J. Underwood

Incluye referencia bibliográfica: p. 486-495 e índices

Ecological theories and hypotheses are usually complex because of natural variability in space and time, which often makes the design of experiments difficult. The statistical tests we use require data to be collected carefully and with proper regard to the needs of these tests. This book describes how to design ecological experiments from a statistical basis using analysis of variance, so that we can draw reliable conclusions. Examples of ecological experiments are used throughout to iIlustrate the procedures and examine problems. This book will be invaluabie to practising ecologists in addition to advanced students involved in experimental design
