Statistics in ecotoxicology

This comprehensive guide provides an invaluable introduction to quantitative methods for the analysis of ecotoxicological data, and covers field experimentation, laboratory experimentation, regression methodology, multivariate methods and monitoring. It incoporates essential tips to prevent many of the common design and analytical failings in ecotoxicology. It also includes case studies comprising of terrestrial freshwater and marine examples.

Basic concepts. Exploring the data. Field experiments. The analysis of laboratory toxicity experiments. Analysis of field studies : regression analysis. Multivariate techniques. Environmental monitoring : investigating associations and trends. Organochlorines in bird of prey eggs : a terrestrial case study. Statistical techniques for the ecological risk assessment of chemicals in freshwaters. Trying to detect impacts in marine habitats : comparisons with suitable reference areas.
