Description
Handbook of Quantitative Ecology is an accessible guide to quantitative research methods in ecology and conservation biology. With a focus on practical, intuitive approaches, this book addresses the challenges of understanding widely used quantitative methods.
The author, ecologist Justin Kitzes, presents each chapter as a step-by-step solution to a specific ecological problem, helping readers build their knowledge from basic algebra and spreadsheet skills. The book is grouped into five broad categories, covering topics such as probability, matrix models, and numerical methods.
Complete with online solutions to all numerical problems, Handbook of Quantitative Ecology is an ideal resource for both undergraduate and graduate students of ecology, as well as mathematically out-of-practice scientists. The book provides a comprehensive introduction to widely used quantitative methods in ecology and conservation biology.
