Dear list members,
A few years ago I was having a discussion on this list on hypothesis-driven research and the hypothetico-dedcutive method as “the scientific method” in ecology. It seem to me (may be I am wrong) that many universities in the US are teaching this approach to do research in ecology. I am wondering if there are other approaches (and references) on the research process in ecology more suitable to scientists working on wildlife ecology and conservation. I am teaching a thesis seminar to master students in wildlife ecology and conservation in Latin America and I would like to discuss other approaches with them. Many thanks in advance, Manuel Spínola -- *Manuel Spínola, Ph.D.* Instituto Internacional en Conservación y Manejo de Vida Silvestre Universidad Nacional Apartado 1350-3000 Heredia COSTA RICA [email protected] [email protected] Teléfono: (506) 2277-3598 Fax: (506) 2237-7036 Personal website: Lobito de río <https://sites.google.com/site/lobitoderio/> Institutional website: ICOMVIS <http://www.icomvis.una.ac.cr/>
