Résumé :
|
This book attempts to present to ecologists in a coherent form the statistical methodology that is general to ecological field measurements. Scientific progress depends on good methods and there are two components to progress in ecological methodology. The first component is biological and technical - you must have a good sampling device that catches the animals you wish to study or marks them with tags or bands that will not fall off. The second component of scientific progress is good statistical design. This component is general to all disciplines, and ecology is no exception. Over the pas 60 years there has been superb development of statistical methods for increasing precision and avoiding bias in the estimation of ecological parameters like population size. This book will not tell you what plankton sampler is best for oligotrophic lakes, but it will tell you how to design your plankton sampling in the most efficient way so that you need to do minimal work for maximal precision. All the methods presented here are well known to statisticians ; that they are not always known to ecologists is one for the weaknesses of modern ecology. This book attempts to assist field ecologists in the statistical design and analysis of ecological measurements.
