Excerpt from The Quantitative Method in Biology In Physics, Chemistry and Mineralogy the properties of the objects are measured and expressed by means of figures called constants. A constant is independent of any theory: it is the exact expression of a fact. The constants are in reality the material by means of which theories are built up, the explanation of the observed facts is found and the road opened for new discoveries. In Botany and Zoology, on the contrary, the properties (characters) of the living things are usually described by means of terms. We say that a given object is long or short, broad or narrow, oblong or oval, etc. Much progress would be rendered possible if such terms as long, broad, short, etc., were replaced by figures. This would be simple enough if the properties of animals and plants were invariable. Unfortunately these properties are almost always variable, not only within the limits of one species, but also among the children of the same parents and even among the progeny of one parent. Variability has been hitherto the great obstacle which has rendered impossible the general use of quantitative data (figures) in Biological Sciences. The object of the present book is to describe a method by which biological constants may be established. In the first two chapters I have expounded certain theoretical views about the notion of species and variation. Those views afford us a guide for the discovery of the primordia (simple or elementary properties or characters) which are to be measured in order to find constants.

My original intention was to write a history of medical statistics, used in its prewar sense, expanding the writings on the subject by Major Greenwood, from which I formed many of my ideas in the early days immediately after the Second World War. In later years, I decided that the scope of his works was narrower than what I think is appropriate now, for he was writing in an era before the acceptance and use of the Fisherian methods and he was probably not aware of the mathematization of many parts of biological theory. Further, the boundary between the medical and biological sciences has largely disappeared. Many texts have now been written on branches of the theory and practice inspired by R. A. Fisher (see §4. 13). I discuss the history of the use of quantitative methods in the biological sciences, defined after the style of Peller (1967) as that branch of science that uses a quantitative approach to, or quantitative logical reasoning on, or biology. The mathematical tech any issue having to do with medicine niques are various and not classified here. Within the book I use "biological sciences" to include medicine but use the longer phrase in its title to avoid misunderstandings as to content. Moreover, most of the experimental work carried out in medical research laboratories is performed on animals other than man.

Quantitative methods are needed in conservation biology more than ever as an increasing number of threatened species find their way onto international and national “red lists. ” Objective evaluation of population decline and extinction probability are required for sound decision making. Yet, as our colleague Selina Heppell points out, population viability analysis and other forms of formal risk assessment are underused in policy formation because of data uncertainty and a lack of standardized methodologies and unambiguous criteria (i. e. , “rules of thumb”). Models used in conservation biology range from those that are purely heuristic to some that are highly predictive. Model selection should be dependent on the questions being asked and the data that are available. We need to develop a toolbox of quantitative methods that can help scientists and managers with a wide range of systems and that are subject to varying levels of data uncertainty and environmental variability. The methods outlined in the following chapters represent many of the tools needed to fill that toolbox. When used in conjunction with adaptive management, they should provide information for improved monitoring, risk assessment, and evaluation of management alternatives. The first two chapters describe the application of methods for detecting trends and extinctions from sighting data. Presence/absence data are used in general linear and additive models in Chapters 3 and 4 to predict the extinction proneness of birds and to build habitat models for plants.
