Je omvang speelt een rol in de ervaring van de wereld om je heen: de plas waar je achteloos overheen stapt zal voor de duizenden raderdiertjes die erin leven de hele wereld zijn. Omvang beïnvloedt elk aspect van het leven - grotere wezens leven langer, maar krijgen minder nazaten. Een stel muizen van samen 500 kg heeft meer voedsel, water en zuurstof nodig dan één koe van 500 kg. We vragen het ons eigenlijk nooit af, maar waarom hebben dieren eigenlijk de omvang die ze hebben? Waarom zijn er geen spinnen die groot genoeg zijn om ons op te eren, of walvissen die klein genoeg zijn voor in een badkuip? Door deze vragen te onderzoeken kunnen we beter begrijpen hoe allerlei natuurlijke organismen fungeren - en door de extreme formaten te bestuderen (in dit geval de grootste) zullen de mechanismen die de omvang van een dier of plant bepalen duidelijker worden. In dit fascinerende en prachtig geïllustreerd boek bekijken we de ontzagwekkende reuzen op aarde, uit heden en verleden. We kijken naar de wetenschap achter de vele factoren die de omvang stimuleren en beperken, de voordelen en uitdagingen van het leven voor reuzen, en wat dit alles zegt over de biologie, functie en evolutie van een organisme.

"The careful design of experiments lies at the core of good research. Experimental Design for the Life Sciences equips you with the skills you need to effectively design experiments, making this essential aspect of the research process readily understandable. It demonstrates how good experimental design relies on clear thinking and biological understanding, not mathematical or statistical complexity." -- Back cover.

"Studies of the evolution of animal signals and sensory behaviour have more recently shifted from considering 'extrinsic' (environmental) determinants to 'intrinsic' (physiological) ones. The drive behind this change has been the increasing availability of neural network models. With contributions from experts in the field, this book provides a complete survey of artificial neural networks. The book opens with two broad, introductory level reviews on the themes of the book: neural networks as tools to explore the nature of perceptual mechanisms, and neural networks as models of perception in ecology and evolutionary biology. Later chapters expand on these themes and address important methodological issues when applying artificial neural networks to study perception. The final chapter provides perspective by introducing a neural processing system in a real animal. The book provides the foundations for implementing artificial neural networks, for those new to the field, along with identifying potential research areas for specialists"--

Measurements like mass, length and speed are 'linear'; but compass direction or the time of the year are 'circular'. Circular data have a repeating nature and an arbitrary zero: 12 months after the 1st of July it is the 1st of July again. This book explains how to easily and effectively analyse circular data statistically.
