How to be a Quantitative Ecologist by Jason Matthiopoulos

How to be a Quantitative Ecologist by Jason Matthiopoulos

How to Be a Quantitative Ecologist is comprised of two equal parts on mathematics and statistics with emphasis on quantitative skills. A major component of this guide is computer implementation techniques, accompanied by computer practicals using the language R.

“For those looking through R books for something a bit more technical, this book will be an essential accomplice to mastering R”  (British Ecological Society, 1 April 2013)

“The book is written in a style that is easy to read and for which one quickly forgets that the examples are essentially mathematical in nature. If you are an ecologist who has shied away from quantitative ecology in the past then this may be the text to convince you that there is much to be learnt from quantitative ecology. I thoroughly recommend this book and trust that you enjoy reading it as much as I did.”  (International Statistical Review, 2012)

"After a course of one or two semesters using this textbook, he says, students should have the absolute minimum of knowledge about quantitative research that ecologists need, but can provide a foundation for students who want to move further in that direction." (Book News, 1 August 2011)
