Scientific research is a proven and powerful tool for discovering
the answers to biological questions. As such, today's students need
to be well-versed in experimental design, analysis, and the
communication of research. Furthermore, they must appreciate how
all of these aspects are interlinked-how, for example, statistics
can be used to inform the design of a particular experiment. As a
resource which skillfully integrates all of the key aspects
relating to biological research, Research Methods for the
Biosciences is the perfect guide for undergraduates. The
exceptionally clear layout takes students through choosing a
project and planning their research; collecting, evaluating, and
analyzing their data; and finally reporting their results. Research
methods, which can often seem abstract, are brought to life through
the use of examples taken from real undergraduate research.
Friendly guidance and advice is provided throughout the text, and
little prior knowledge or mathematical experience is required.
Since statistics is a subject best learned through doing, frequent
worked examples appear throughout Part Two 'Handling your data',
showing step-by-step how to carry out the various statistical
tests. In addition, online software walkthroughs and video
screencasts clearly demonstrate how to use software such as SPSS,
Minitab, Excel and R to carry out statistical analyses. Online
