Understand How to Analyze and Interpret Information in Ecological Point Patterns

Although numerous statistical methods for analyzing spatial point patterns have been available for several decades, they haven’t been extensively applied in an ecological context. Addressing this gap, Handbook of Spatial Point-Pattern Analysis in Ecology shows how the techniques of point-pattern analysis are useful for tackling ecological problems. Within an ecological framework, the book guides readers through a variety of methods for different data types and aids in the interpretation of the results obtained by point-pattern analysis.

Ideal for empirical ecologists who want to avoid advanced theoretical literature, the book covers statistical techniques for analyzing and interpreting the information contained in ecological patterns. It presents methods used to extract information hidden in spatial point-pattern data that may point to the underlying processes. The authors focus on point processes and null models that have proven their immediate utility for broad ecological applications, such as cluster processes.

Along with the techniques, the handbook provides a comprehensive selection of real-world examples. Most of the examples are analyzed using Programita, a continuously updated software package based on the authors’ many years of teaching and collaborative research in ecological point-pattern analysis. Programita is tailored to meet the needs of real-world applications in ecology. The software and a manual are available online.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

了解如何分析和解釋生態點模式中的資訊

儘管數十年來已有許多統計方法可用於分析空間點模式,但在生態學背景下的應用仍然不廣泛。為了填補這一空白,生態學空間點模式分析手冊展示了點模式分析技術如何有助於解決生態問題。在生態框架內,本書引導讀者通過各種方法來處理不同類型的數據,並幫助解釋通過點模式分析獲得的結果。

本書非常適合希望避免高級理論文獻的實證生態學家,涵蓋了分析和解釋生態模式中所包含資訊的統計技術。它介紹了用於提取隱藏在空間點模式數據中的資訊的方法,這些資訊可能指向潛在的過程。作者專注於已證明其在廣泛生態應用中即時實用的點過程和虛無模型,例如聚類過程。

除了技術外,該手冊還提供了全面的現實世界範例選擇。大多數範例使用Programita進行分析,這是一個基於作者多年教學和合作研究的生態點模式分析的持續更新軟體包。Programita專為滿足生態學中現實應用的需求而設計。該軟體及手冊可在線獲得。
