The ability to conduct such analyses is essential for many problems in ecology and evolutionary biology. This book begins by explaining the theory behind the statistical methodology, including chapters on conceptual issues, the implementation of an SEM study and the history of the development of SEM. The second section provides examples of analyses on biological data including multi-group models, means models, P-technique and time-series. The final section of the book deals with computer applications and contrasts three popular SEM software packages. Aimed specifically at biological researchers and graduate students, this book will serve as valuable resource for both learning and teaching the SEM methodology. Moreover, data sets and programs that are presented in the book can also be downloaded from a website to assist the learning process. 606 $aEcology$xMathematical models 606 $aEvolution (Biology)$xMathematical models 606 $aEcology$xStatistical methods 606 $aEvolution (Biology)$xStatistical methods 615 0$aEcology$xMathematical models. 615 0$aEvolution (Biology)$xMathematical models. 615 0$aEcology$xStatistical methods. 615 0$aEvolution (Biology)$xStatistical methods. 676 $a577/.015/118 701 $aPugesek$b Bruce H.$f1951-$01756728 701 $aTomer$b Adrian$01756729 701 $aEye$b Alexander von$0148929 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812439403321 996 $aStructural equation modeling$94194189 997 $aUNINA
