Experimental Design for the Life Sciences by Graeme D Ruxton

Experimental Design for the Life Sciences teaches the reader how to effectively design experiments, demonstrating how good experimental design relies on clear thinking and biological understanding, not mathematical or statistical complexity, to ensure today's students are equipped with the skills they need to be the researchers of tomorrow.

I think it is splendid; it is the sort of short and concise text which students remember for a long time and which they hang on to long after the course is passedBernt Walther, Department of Fisheries and Marine Biology, University of Bergen I would have loved to have such a book in this phase of my scientific career. Mariet Hefting, Institute of Environmental Biology, Utrecht University A well-presented, clearly argued, concise and witty introduction to one of the most important topics in the life sciences. Nick Royle, School of Biosciences, Exeter University

Graeme Ruxton obtained a first degree in Physics before getting a PhD in Statistics and Modelling Science. After his PhD he worked for several years with the Scottish Agricultural Statistical Service in Edinburgh. He then got a lectureship in Ecology at the University of Glasgow, where he is now Professor of Theoretical Ecology. Nick Colegrave trained as an evolutionary biologist, obtaining his first degree at the University of Sussex, and his PhD on the evolution of competition strategies at the University of Sheffield. Since then he has held a number of postdoctoral research positions at a range of universities including, McGill, St Andrews, Glasgow and Edinburgh, working on various aspects of evolutionary biology, with a range of organisms. At various points he has also held the post of zoology demonstrator at the University of Edinburgh, teaching experimental design to zoology students and advising on statistics. He is now lecturer in Biology at Edinburgh.
