This book is a guide to using statistical methods to study biological variation. It begins by explaining the mathematical formulae involved in calculating variation in a set of quantitative data. The author then discusses how to use these methods to study the variability of characters between males and females, or between parents and offspring. Chapters in the book cover topics such as the mean, the mode, the median, the standard deviation, and the coefficient of variation. The author also discusses the application of statistical methods to study the distribution of characters in a population, and how to use these methods to compare variations between two or more populations. This book consolidates statistical tools and concepts from many disciplines and presents them from a biological perspective, with many real-world examples from the author's own research and from the biological literature demonstrating the use of these methods to solve a wide variety of biological problems.
