Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
A Primer of Ecological Statistics explains fundamental material in probability theory and experimental design for ecologists and environmental scientists. The book emphasizes a general introduction to probability theory and provides a detailed discusion of specific designs and analyses that are typically encountered in ecology and environmental science. Appropriate for use as either a stand-alone or supplementary text for upper-division undergraduate or graduate courses in ecological and environmental statistics, ecology, environmental science, environmental studies, or experimental design, the Primer also serves as a resource for environmental professionals who need to use and interpret statistics daily but have little or no formal training in the subject.

I took many statistic course, but not until I read this book, I didn't truly understand what is the basic concept of those common statistic measures.

While the preface and very first chapter of this book do a good job of simply explaining the terms used in statistics, I find that the authors needed to spend more time fleshing out the concepts. I've been looking for a statistics book that focuses on ecology and the environment, and I believe this one can be it; I would like to have seen different scenarios used in the examples, rather than one scenario, then a rapid shuffle forward to the subsequent example. A good one to add to a statistics course, or to discuss in a class setting...or even with someone who knows statistics inside-out.

For all you ecology and nature types, this is the stats textbook for you. These guys explain all the important stats concepts using examples I understand, like ant hills and bird density, and they cite real life experiments, give real experimental design suggestions, etc. Never before have I understood complex statistical concepts as well as I do after reading this book. And it's enjoyable reading! They really have a sense of humor. It's a must-have for everyone doing research in the fields of ecology or wildlife science!

This is a wonderful, clear, concise guide to what ecologists need to know for basic data analysis. It's a great read, cover to cover, or an excellent shelf reference. Also, for those who want more detail, some of the example code is posted up at http://harvardforest.fas.harvard.edu/personnel/web/aellison/publications/primer/primer.html

I'm a biologist and a writer. I am not a mathematician. This book presents a broad array of statistical concepts in a way that even I can understand. You won't have to reread paragraph after paragraph, because the text is completely straightforward. Don't expect to use this as your stand-alone statistics reference, but do expect to use it as a primary source for ecology-related techniques. A "must have" for all biologists.
