I asked a question on twitter “Wanted – good simple guide to the statistics of sampling design for field ecology studies” and got some useful answers, which I have “storified” below. Any additional suggestions welcome. http://storify.com/phylogenomics/suggestions-for-simple-guides-to-statistics-of-sam.js[<a href=”http://storify.com/phylogenomics/suggestions-for-simple-guides-to-statistics-of-sam” target=”_blank”>View the story “Suggestions for simple guides to statistics of sampling design” on Storify</a>]

Two classics that I found useful:
N. Hairston (1989) “Ecological Experiments: Purpose, Design, and Execution” (http://books.google.com/books/about/Ecological_experiments.html?id=CIcaWtlNpKAC)
Samuel M. Scheiner, Jessica Gurevitch. (1993) Design and analysis of ecological experiments.
