Bayesian inference with ecological applications

A mathematically sound but accessible and engaging introduction to the Bayesian paradigm, written specifically for ecologists and wildlife biologists.
Each example in this book could be taken as the mini project, coz it provides the BUG data and codes, mathematical descriptions behind the model and model comparisons in the example.

Some of the examples in this book are from the view point of Mark-Recapture framework as Richard J Barker  is the expert in this area.
He's the Prof. of Statistics in the University of Otago, where I took my undergraduate studies.
