In this book, ecologist Justin Kitzes answers those challenges for students and practicing scientists alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRequiring only basic algebra and the ability to use a spreadsheet, the \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Quantitative Ecology\u003c\/i\u003e is designed to provide a practical, intuitive, and integrated introduction to widely used quantitative methods. Kitzes builds each chapter around a specific ecological problem and arrives, step by step, at a general principle through the act of solving that problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGrouped into five broad categories—difference equations, probability, matrix models, likelihood statistics, and other numerical methods—the book introduces basic concepts, starting with exponential and logistic growth, and helps readers to understand the field’s more advanced subjects, such as permutation tests, stochastic optimization, and cellular automata.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eComplete with online solutions to all numerical problems, Kitzes’s \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Quantitative Ecology\u003c\/i\u003e is an ideal coursebook for both undergraduate and graduate students of ecology, as well as a useful and necessary resource for mathematically out-of-practice scientists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854566904044,"sku":"9780226818320","price":180.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/dacf87343290b790768d09caf11669c5.jpg?v=1759268247"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/justin-kitzes.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
