Surveying Natural Populations is a user-friendly primer to the essential methodologies of quantitative field ecology or paleoecology. Combining the intuitive methods of the field researcher with the mathematical precision of the statistician, the volume determines, through real biodiversity and ecological examples, the necessary measures for a complete community assessment while clarifying the confusions between biological and statistical terminology. Focusing on underlying mathematical concepts, it describes how to complete incrementally a quantitative sampling of any recent or fossil population. The first half of Surveying Natural Populations explains the fundamentals of ecological assessment. Employing a single data set throughout, initial chapters navigate ... Read more

Reviews for Surveying Natural Populations: Quantitative Tools for Assessing Biodiversity
A welcome, noteworthy contribution to the ecology, conservation, and biostatistical literature.
Erica Fleishman Ecology A timely, valuable, and important contribution to the literature on quantitative ecology, conservation, wildlife management, and palaeoecology. I strongly recommend it to all quantitative ecologists and palaeoecologists.
H. J. B. Birks Earth-Science Reviews Reads almost like a novel in comparison to normal statistical books. ... Read more
