A comprehensive collection of richly commented Bayesian analyses of ecological models for population analysis using WinBUGS run from within program R, bridging the gap between introductory- and advance-level texts

Bayesian statistics has exploded into biology and its sub-disciplines, such as ecology, over the past decade. The free software program WinBUGS, and its open-source sister OpenBugs, is currently the only flexible and general-purpose program available with which the average ecologist can conduct standard and non-standard Bayesian statistics.
