Synopsis
The Quantitative Method in Biology applies a precise, numbers-driven approach to describe and compare living forms. This edition emphasizes measuring biological traits, defining primordia, and building exact, comparable descriptions of species. It guides readers from foundational ideas to practical techniques for applying statistics and measurements to biology.
Structured to support both study and reference, the book argues for rigorous definitions and systematic data collection. It covers concepts such as constants, bertillonage, and the use of curves to map variation, with examples drawn from plants and animals. The aim is to turn vague descriptions into measurable, testable descriptions that help clarify relationships among species.
- Learn how to identify primordia and measure them along key axes to create comparable data.
- Explore biaxial and triaxial systems and how they organize complex life forms.
- Understand variation through curves and statistical ideas used in biology.
- See how a quantitative description can improve species identification and classification.
Ideal for readers of biology, systematics, and anyone seeking a data-driven approach to describing living forms.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. In this thought-provoking book, the author challenges the prevailing notion that biological classification can be based on observable characteristics alone. The author contends that these characteristics are the result of chemical reactions and can vary drastically depending on the environment. The author thus proposes a revision to the taxonomic system, emphasizing the need for a deeper understanding of the chemical composition of living organisms. The book is a valuable contribution to the field of biology, and its insights will undoubtedly stimulate further research and discussion among scientists. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330313770_0
