Titre : Conservation technology Type de document : livre Auteurs : Serge A. Wich, Auteur ; Alex K. Piel, Auteur Editeur : New York : Oxford University Press, NY Année de publication : 2021 Importance : 297 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-885025-0 Prix : 37.99 GBP Note générale : DOI:10.1093/oso/9780198850243.001.0001 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Nature conservation Technology Data collection Résumé : La 4ème de couv. indique : "The global loss of biodiversity is occurring at an unprecedented pace. Despite the considerable effort devoted to conservation science and management, we still lack the basic data on the distribution and density of most animal and plant species, which in turn hampers our efforts to study changes over time. In addition, we often lack behavioural data from the very animals most influenced by environmental changes; this is largely due to the financial and logistical limitations associated with gathering scientific data on animals that are either widely distributed, cryptic, or negatively influenced by human presence.
To overcome these limitations, conservationists are increasingly integrating/employing/incorporating technology to facilitate such data collection. The use of camera traps, acoustic sensors, satellite data, drones, and sophisticated computer algorithms to analyse the large datasets collected are becoming increasingly common. Although there are several specialist books on some of these technologies, there is currently no overarching volume that describes the available technology for conservation and evaluates its varied applications. This edited volume will fill this void, bringing together a team of international experts using a diverse range of approaches."Note de contenu : Companion website at : https://global.oup.com/booksites/content/9780198850243/ En ligne : https://global.oup.com/academic/product/conservation-technology-9780198850243?cc [...] Conservation technology [livre] / Serge A.

Titre : Teaching statistics: a bag of tricks Type de document : livre Auteurs : Gelman, A. ; Nolan, D. Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : Oxford, UK : Oxford University Press Année de publication : 2002 Importance : 299 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-857224-4 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Bayesian statistical decision theory Data analysis Data collection Decision theory Linear regression Statistical methods Statistics Résumé : Students in the sciences, economics, psychology, social sciences, and medicine take introductory statistics. Statistics is increasingly offered at the high school level as well. However, statistics can be notoriously difficult to teach as it is seen by many students as difficult and boring, if not irrelevant to their subject of choice. To help dispel these misconceptions, Gelman and Nolan have put together this fascinating and thought-provoking book. Based on years of teaching experience the book provides a wealth of demonstrations, examples and projects that involve active student participation. Part I of the book presents a large selection of activities for introductory statistics courses and combines chapters such as, 'First week of class', with exercises to break the ice and get students talking; then 'Descriptive statistics' , collecting and displaying data; then follows the traditional topics - linear regression, data collection, probability and inference. Part II gives tips on what does and what doesn't work in class: how to set up effective demonstrations and examples, how to encourage students to participate in class and work effectively in group projects. A sample course plan is provided. Part III presents material for more advanced courses on topics such as decision theory, Bayesian statistics and sampling.
