| Summary |
This title discusses the change in use of statistics in ecology - especially the increased use (over the last two decades) of more sophisticated statistical and computational methods. This change makes it essential for ecological researchers to have a firm grasp of overarching conceptual tools in statistics, rather than memorising methods as in a cookbook |
