Full Description

This book is devoted to ecological data analysis with R, with examples created by the developers of the described packages. R software is now an important reality in ecological informatics. Specific packages have been developed to manage, analyse and visualize ecological data. This book is a comprehensive catalogue of ecological R packages with running examples! This step-by-step procedure book is aimed at students and researchers with previous experience in R with a passion for coding their own ecological analyses.
