A list of suggestions for analysing the Swansea datasets is listed here, and a little excel sheet to play with containing simulated cockle data is here. There are also demonstrations of Shannon's and Simpson's diversity indices on here. All feedback about statistical models is welcomed!
Any digitised photos that you have going spare I'd be grateful to receive
- might even put them on the web for all to admire!
