Produktbeschreibung

"A superb guide to the conduct and interpretation of meta-analysis, from an exceptional team of international experts. This comprehensive manual covers essential concepts, steps, and standards for rigorous research synthesis in ecology and evolutionary biology. Its clear prose, helpful illustrations, and worked examples will be useful for beginners and experts alike. Highly recommended for use as a textbook or for self-study."--Julia Littell, Bryn Mawr College, coauthor of Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis "This is a well-written and valuable book, one that is unique within biology. The use of meta-analysis in ecology and evolution has reached the point where there is a need for a comprehensive, single-volume text such as this."--Samuel M. Scheiner, coeditor of The Theory of Ecology "This book provides readers with a complete picture of the state of meta-analysis in ecology, evolution, and conservation biology today. It will help to raise the bar on the quality of meta-analytical research in the field, as well as improving research synthesis in general. This is the first book on the subject written for ecologists and environmental scientists."--Michael Dietze, Boston University
