Brief description of the main scopes:
Statistical analyses of data from researches on the role of habitat patches in maintaining biodiversity, and on small-scale topographical variation of grassland plant communities. Physiological costs associated with life histories of increased developmental rate, alternative life history strategies and life history evolution, adaptive value of individual and species level variation in key life history traits.
Methods of statistical data analyses utilized in biological researches.
Main profile in keywords:
