Working as a writer and an endangered-species biologist, he became convinced that returning grass-fed, free-roaming buffalo to the grasslands of the northern plains would return natural balance to the region and reestablish the undulating prairie lost through poor land management and overzealous farming. In 1998 he bought his first buffalo and began the task of converting a little cattle ranch into an ethically run buffalo ranch.

Traditionally, biologists have viewed the inevitable "noise" of life as an unfortunate complication. The authors of this book, however, treat random processes as a benefit. In this introduction to chance in biology, Mark Denny and Steven Gaines help readers to apply the probability theory needed to make sense of chance events--using examples from ocean waves to spiderwebs, in fields ranging from molecular mechanics to evolution. Through the application of probability theory, Denny and Gaines make predictions about how plants and animals work in a stochastic universe. Is it possible to pack a variety of ion channels into a cell membrane and have each operate at near-peak flow? Why are our arteries rubbery? The concept of a random walk provides the necessary insight. Is there an absolute upper limit to human life span? Could the sound of a cocktail party burst your eardrums? The statistics of extremes allows us to make the appropriate calculations. How long must you wait to see the detail in a moonlit landscape? Can you hear the noise of individual molecules? The authors provide answers to these and many other questions. After an introduction to the basic statistical methods to be used in this book, the authors emphasize the application of probability theory to biology rather than the details of the theory itself. Readers with an introductory background in calculus will be able to follow the reasoning, and sets of problems, together with their solutions, are offered to reinforce concepts. The use of real-world examples, numerous illustrations, and chapter summaries--all presented with clarity and wit--make for a highly accessible text. By relating the theory of probability to the understanding of form and function in living things, the authors seek to pique the reader's curiosity about statistics and provide a new perspective on the role of chance in biology. 606 $aBiomathematics 606 $aProbabilities 615 0$aBiomathematics. 615 0$aProbabilities. 676 $a570/.1/5192 686 $aWC 7000$2rvk 700 $aDenny$b Mark W.$f1951-$0786816 701 $aGaines$b Steven$f1951-$01795101 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910958715403321 996 $aChance in biology$94336160 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03146nam 2200829 u 450 001 9910953341003321 005 20251116220343.0 010 $a1-383-03139-8 010 $a1-282-32816-6 010 $a9786612328169 010 $a0-19-152484-0 010 $a1-4356-0685-X 024 7 $a10.1093/oso/9780198700395.001.0001 035 $a(CKB)1000000000479362 035 $a(EBL)422931 035 $a(OCoLC)181099269 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000184535 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11178097 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000184535 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10201133 035 $a(PQKB)11788990 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL422931 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10263689 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4963949 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL232816 035 $a(OCoLC)1027141920 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL7037504 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC422931 035 $a(OCoLC)1406786879 035 $a(StDuBDS)9781383031393 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4963949 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC7037504 035 $a(OCoLC)1449571279 035 $a(FINmELB)ELB164757 035 $a(OCoLC)1336402498 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000479362 100 $a20041014e20232004 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aItaly in the age of the Renaissance $e1300-1550 /$fedited by John M.
