About this book

This brief book is dedicated to the quantitative analyses and systematic discussion of spatial biodiversity and biogeographic patterns in the Asia-Pacific region comprised of China, India and adjacent countries. Biodiversity and Biogeographic Patterns in Asia-Pacific Region, Volume 1 is split into two sections. The first section presents readers with detailed statistical methods to conduct spatial macro-biodiversity and biogeography analyses. Step-by-step instructions on how to perform these statistical methods by using the statistical program R are also provided. In the second part, different quantitative case studies are presented covering several topics, including phylogenetics, spatial statistics, multivariate statistics and ecological genomics. Each case study concludes with a detailed interpretation of the quantitative results and how these results are relevant to local and regional ecological processes. Biodiversity and Biogeographic Patterns in Asia-Pacific Region, Volume 1 is suitable for academics interested in biostatistics biodiversity and ecological studies specific to the Asia-Pacific region and China.
