Zar's Biostatistical Analysis, Fifth Edition, is the ideal textbook for graduate and undergraduate students seeking practical coverage of statistical analysis methods used by researchers to collect, summarize, analyze and draw conclusions from biological research. The latest edition of this best-selling textbook is both comprehensive and easy to read. It is suitable as an introduction for beginning students and as a comprehensive reference book for biological researchers and for advanced students.
This book is appropriate for a one- or two-semester, junior, or graduate-level course in biostatistics, biometry, quantitative biology, or statistics, and assumes a prerequisite of algebra.

Salient Features
• A broad collection of data-analysis procedures and techniques are presented, covering a wide variety of biological research, such as physiology, genetics, ecology, behavior, morphology.
• The most comprehensive treatment available includes coverage of the basics of statistical analysis, and also the following topics rarely or never found in statistics books for biologists:
o Diversity
o Polynomial regression
o Multidimensional contingency tables
o Stepwise regression
o Nonparametric multiple comparisons
o Higher order factorial analyses of variance
o Circular distributions
o Power and sample size determinations
• An orderly organization and presentation of topics, with cross-referencing as appropriate.
• The readable and accessible approach allows students with no previous statistical background or mathematical expertise beyond simple algebra to understand the material presented.
• A wealth of graphs and other figures are integrated to visually support concepts under discussion.
• A uniquely comprehensive set of statistical tables-more than 40 in all-facilitates statistical analyses without having to consult a separate book. This includes tables that are unique to this book.
• Worked examples for all major procedures guide readers step-by-step through the techniques, demonstrating each of the important concepts.
• An extensive bibliography directs readers to further relevant literature.
