Null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) is the dominant statistical approach in biology,
although it has many, frequently unappreciated, problems. Most importantly, NHST does not …

Statistical hypothesis testing has been widely criticized by ecologists in recent years. I
review some of the more persistent criticisms of P values and argue that most stem from …

In many scientific disciplines, common research practices have led to unreliable and
exaggerated evidence about scientific phenomena. Here we describe some of these …

Analysis and Management of Animal Populations deals with the processes involved in
making informed decisions about the management of animal populations. It covers the …

Ecological Models and Data in R is the first truly practical introduction to modern statistical
methods for ecology. In step-by-step detail, the book teaches ecology graduate students and …

A resource selection function (RSF) is any model that yields values proportional to the
probability of use of a resource unit. RSF models often are fitted using generalized linear …

Recently, Jennions and Møller (2003) carried out a metaanalysis on statistical power in the
field of behavioral ecology and animal behavior, reviewing 10 leading journals including …

We offer suggestions to avoid misuse of information-theoretic methods in wildlife laboratory
and field studies. Our suggestions relate to basic science issues and the need to ask deeper …

This paper presents a review and critique of statistical null hypothesis testing in ecological
studies in general, and wildlife studies in particular, and describes an alternative. Our review …

Simulation models are widely used to represent the dynamics of ecological systems. A
common question with such models is how changes to a parameter value or functional form …
