 --------- ------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------- ------------------ -------------------- 
|       1 | 1/12 R                       | Introduction: Ecology, Evolution, and Statistics         | Chapter 1        |                    |
 --------- ------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------- ------------------ --------------------
