Transcending Processes and the Levels-of-Organization Concept.

Peer reviewed

Barrett, Gary W.; Peles, John D.; Odum, Eugene P. – Bioscience, 1997

Shows how attention to transcending functions provides a new integrative approach to mathematics that can improve the critical thinking and problem-solving skills required for addressing large-scale problems. Contains 38 references. (DDR)

Capture-Recapture Models.

Peer reviewed

Nichols, James D. – Bioscience, 1992

Describes advances in capture-recapture modeling, including the biologically motivated emphasis on model-based hypothesis testing and the development of models for spatially stratified populations. Discusses the severe problems associated with count statistics reflecting unknown sampling fractions. (67 references) (KR)
