Abstract
Statistical analysis is usually needed to extract
usable inferences from highly variable ecological
data. However, there are continuing discussions
and arguments about many aspects of statistical
design and analysis. Two recent examples include
the design of studies to detect an environmental impact
( Underwood 1994, Wiens and Parker
1995) and the choice of parametric or nonparametric statistics( Stewart-Oaten1 995).
