About the Author

Rosalind Humphreys is a researcher at the University of St Andrews. Rosalind's research focuses on the behavioural and evolutionary ecology of interactions between species, but she has published peer-reviewed papers on statistical topics as well as reviews and original research articles concerning predator-prey interactions. Rosalind also acted as sole graphics designer for the Oxford Biology Primer Power Analysis: An Introduction for the Life Sciences by Colegrave and Ruxton (2020). Graeme Ruxton is Professor of Evolutionary Ecology at the University of St Andrews. Graeme has co-authored (with Nick Colegrave) four editions of the OUP textbook Experimental Design for the Life Sciences. With a long history of publishing papers aimed at improving the design and analysis of experiments, Graeme has a particular interest in making the principles of data analysis readily accessible to a wide range of learners.
