Bøker av Brian A. (Michigan State University) Maurer

A study of biodiversity in which the author argues for a pluralistic approach, showing how ecologists might enhance their ability to tackle global problems by incorporating broader spatial and temporal perspectives into their research. He suggests that statistical methods can identify processes that operate across broad geographic scales.

The purpose of this text is to introduce some techniques for dealing with problems such as the description of spatial patterns of populations across continents, the description of the degree of fragmentation of a population and the relationship between population dynamics and population fraction.
