text introducing and explaining techniques and their
applications a necessity for both undergraduates and
graduates alike. This book covers a wide range of
biological models, experimental design and data
analysis. The book is aimed at undergraduates in
biomathematics, but will be of use to any biologists wishing to learn modelling skills and/or analytical techniques.
Following an introduction, which clearly outlines different types of models used in biology, the book is
split into five parts. Part I concentrates on models for single populations and processes. Deterministic models incorporating growth and decline of popu- lations and individuals and genetics are dealt with first. Stochastic models follow, with the final chapter in this part concentrating on the statistical fitting of such models to data. Part II is concerned with bio-
logical comparisons and design issues. Comparisons of two or more populations or processes are presented first, followed by a chapter on experimental design and data collection. Biological interactions are dealt with in Part III. The first chapter in this section is a mathematical introduction into models of inter- actions. Chapters on biochemical and physiological processes, and large-scale ecological and epi- demiological patterns follow. This section ends with a chapter on model fitting of generalized linear, non- linear and dynamic stochastic models. Part IV con- tains subjects the authors were unable to cover else- where and is entitled 'Advanced Topics'. There are
chapters on transport and diffusion, patterns in time and space, sequence analysis, multiple regression and neural networks. Part V is a glosary of mathematical
terms, tables, references and an index. Each issue is dealt with in a similar way; as an exam-
ple I will concentrate on the analysis of series of point events in space and time. Initially, examples are given of the type of data that can be collected. In this case the distribution of different species of ground-nesting ducks' nests in a lake, firing pattern of an oxytocin magnocellular neurosecretory cell and the locations of tree seedlings in space.

on the description and detection of spatial patterns, starting with complete spatial randomness and moving through a catalogue of spatial distributions. Next fol- lows a section on Monte Carlo simulation tests for
spatial patterns. Finally, the initial data on the spacing of ground-nesting ducks is analysed. The authors refer the reader to sources of data, and more advancd work
concerning the analysis of point patterns. The book is clearly written, with useful examples
chosen to clarify methods and techniques. Each
chapter ends with example exercises; unfortunately, solutions to these problems are not included in the book. Not surprisingly in a book of this scope there are some omissions; maximum likelihood estimation is not included in the chapter on non-linear model
fitting. Multivariate statistics are not covered and treatment of genetic analysis is limited. However, the book includes innovative techniques; the graphical analysis of deviance in multiple regression models is
especially elegant. The title suggests that computing would be dealt
with more thoroughly than it is. The construction of simulation models is dealt with briefly. A supplement can be purchased which gives code to solve specific problems in Phaseplane, Minitab, SAS and Genstat. This supplement will only be of use to people with reasonable knowledge of these packages.

EDITORS' ANNOUNCEMENT Winner of the Charles Elton Young Investigator's Prize for 1994
Belatedly, we record that the winner of the first Charles Elton Young Investigator's Prize, announced at the AGM meeting in Birmingham in December 1994, for the paper published in Journal of Animal Ecology in 1994 was Dr Peter Cotgreave. Peter Cotgreave's paper with Paul Harvey 'Evenness of abundance in bird communities' (Vol. 63, pp. 365-374) arose from his PhD thesis conducted at Oxford. His research asked whether evenness of abundance in bird communities was'associated with traits of the component species and with the environment. The results suggested that competition may provide an explanation for patterns of evenness. After a years post-doctoral fellowship in Lyon, Peter returned to Oxford, working initially in the AFRC/NERC Behavioural Ecology Unit and then as a lecturer in Ornithology. Recently, he has moved to the Institute of Zoology, at the Zoological Society of London, to take up a position as a Conservation
Biologist and Programme Development Officer.

Fundamentals of Conservation
Biology
M L Hunter, University of Maine
he field of conservation biology, the applied science dealing with the maintenance of the earth's biological diversity, has grown tremendously over the past decade; and
this book has been designed specifically for the increasing number of undergraduate courses in the subject. It focuses on the biological aspects of the discipline and assumes that students have some background in biology or ecology. Social, political and econoomic aspects of conservation biology issues will also be covered - both interwoven throughout the book and considered in three separate chapters. The book uses a large number of examples, balanced geographically, taxonomically and environmentally.
* a timely and topical textbook for this increasingly important field
*o the book benefits from the coherence brought by a single expert author
o presents the subject from a strong ecosystem perspective

The British Ecological Society was founded in April 1913, when it replaced the British Vegetation Com- mittee (founded in 1904). The objects of the Society are to advance the education of the public and to advance and support research in the subject of ecology as a branch of natural science, and to disseminate the results of such research. It does this by publishing the Journal of Ecology, the Journal of Animal Ecology, the Journal of Applied Ecology, Functional Ecology and a Bulletin for members, and by holding regular meetings and symposia on subjects of current ecological interest. At present these are held in December, March or April, and July, in various places. The meeting in March or April is a symposium and that in July is devoted primarily to excursions to places of ecological interest. Additional meetings are organized by six specialist groups.
MEMBERSHIP of the Society is open to all, whether or not they reside in the British Isles, who are genuinely and personally interested in Ecology and wish to receive the Society's journals for their own use. The minimum subscription for ordinary membership for
1995 is ?16.00 due on 1 January, and this entitles members to attend the meetings and make use of other facilities that the Society may offer, to vote in the election of Council and Officers and to be eligible for election to Council and Office. For a subscription of ?31.00 members may receive one journal, for ?46.00 two journals, for ?61.00 three journals and for ?76.00 all four journals. Student membership is available at ?8.00 (no journal), ?15.50 (one journal), ?23.00 (two journals), ?30.50 (three journals) and ?38.00 (four journals). There is a discount of ?1.00 for those paying by Direct Debit. These rates apply to the United Kingdom. Separate rates apply to the USA and there are concessionary rates for Eastern Europe (including the former USSR) and Africa (excluding South Africa).
Full details of membership and an application form may be obtained on request from the British Ecological Society, a charitable company registered in England No. 1522897 and limited by guarantee. Registered office: 26 Blades Court, Deodar Road, Putney, London SW15 2NU.
