Introductory Biological Statistics, Fourth Edition

A thorough understanding of biology, no matter which subfield, requires a thorough understanding of statistics. As in previous editions, Havel and Hampton (with new co-author Scott Meiners) ground students in all essential methods of descriptive and inferential statistics, using examples from different biological sciences. The authors have retained the readable, accessible writing style popular with both students and instructors. Pedagogical improvements new to this edition include concept checks in all chapters to assist students in active learning and code samples showing how to solve many of the book's examples using R. Each chapter features numerous practice and homework exercises, with larger data sets available for download. Also by John Havel and available from Waveland Press: Laboratory Exercises for Freshwater Ecology (ISBN 9781478626794).
