The proportionality relationship between partial pressure of a gas in air and its aqueous concentration used to measure dissolved CO2

Use of passive integrated transponder tags for remote detection and tracking of individual animals without need for recapture

A measure comparing the proportion of prey in predator diet to proportion in environment to detect selection or avoidance

Statistical method used to identify the structuring factors driving life-history variation and to detect slow-fast continuum patterns
