Ecology : the experimental analysis of distribution and abundance

Ecology the experimental analysis of distribution and abundance

Charles Krebs' best-selling majors-level text approaches ecology as a series of problems that are best understood by evaluating empirical evidence through data analysis and application of quantitative reasoning. No other text presents analytical, quantitative, and statistical ecological informa...
