I personally pretty much like the following: Quinn G.P., and Keough M.J., 2002. Experimental design and data analysis for biologists. Cambridge University Press.
A fairly accessible text with real data examples but which also goes into details. May be not as much "introductory" as Zar though... there is also the Biometry by Sokal and Rohlf (2000, W.H. Freeman and Company) which remains an excellent reference. Even less "introductory" and somewhat frightening at first but actually very clear and useful. I've also heard good comments about "Intuitive Biostatistics" by Motulsky and Motulsky, Oxford Univ. Press but I personally never had it in hands...

The class is junior/senior level course with mostly students with an ecological/ environmental bent, although there may be some pre-meds as well. From my discussions with others, Zar seems to be the top choice, but I was wondering about other possible contenders (as well as any feedback folks have on Zar). Any input would be most appreciated.
