Paperback. Sampling theory considers how methods for selection of a subset of units from a finite population (a sample) affect the accuracy of estimates of descriptive population parameters (mean, total, proportion). Although a sound knowledge of sampling theory principles would seem essential for ecologists and natural resource scientists, the subject tends to be somewhat overlooked in contrast to other core statistical topics such as regression analysis, experimental design,and multivariate statistics. This introductory text aims to redress this imbalance by specifically targeting ecologists and resource scientists, and illustrating how sampling theory can be applied ina wide variety of resource contexts. The emphasis throughout is on design-based sampling from finite populations, but some attention is given to model-based prediction and sampling from infinite populations.lSampling Theory is an introductory textbook suitable for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, professional researchers, and practitioners in the fields of ecology, evolution, conservation biology, and natural resource sciences (including fisheries, wildlife,rangeland, ecology and forestry). This introductory text is specifically targeted at ecologists and resource scientists, illustrating how sampling theory can be applied in a wide variety of resource contexts. The emphasis throughout is on design-based sampling from finite populations but attention is also given to model-based prediction and sampling from infinite populations.

From 1993 through 2003 he was on the faculty of the Division of Statistics at the University of Idaho and then moved to the University of St Andrews as a senior lecturer with a joint appointment in the Centre for Ecological and Environmental Modelling. Between 2006 and 2017, he was a mathematical statistician for the US Fish and Wildlife Service where he developed sampling designs for aquatic species and methods for estimating fish abundances and modeling fish population dynamics. His current position includes developing and applying statistical methods for agricultural and environmental processes as well as teaching Bayesian statistics.
