GIS For Biologists: A Practical Introduction For Undergraduates By Colin D. MacLeod This book provides a brief, and easy to understand, introduction to using GIS in all aspects of biological research, as well as providing six exercises from a variety of biological fields which you can work through to develop your biological GIS skills. The instructions for the practical exercises in this book are provided for both ArcGIS (the leading commercial GIS software package) and QGIS (the leading free, open-source GIS software package). This book is best suited to those who are relatively new to GIS and who wish to develop a good basic foundation. It is also the book that we recommend to those who wish to teach GIS to biologists and who are looking for a basic biological GIS textbook. |
