Thank you very much for your reply in advance!
Have you looked at the citations you get in the package that come back
from the obvious search strategy?

And I thought I remembered a posting from the author of:
Ecological Models and Data in R (Hardcover) by Benjamin M. Bolker
.... saying that such methods were discussed and exemplified. But I
cannot find the link to confirm my memory on this point. (And now that
I check to see if more knowledgeable persons might have already
answered this, I see that Bolker himself says "he doesn't know about
books", so my memory may have been "manufactured".

And I am not a biologist so have no experience on what would be the
"best book".
