Diversity index information


A diversity index is a quantitative measure that reflects how many different types (e.g. species) there are in a dataset (e.g. a community). More sophisticated indices accounting for the phylogenetic relatedness among the types.[1] Diversity indices are statistical representations of different aspects of biodiversity (e.g. richness, evenness, and dominance), that are useful simplifications to compare different communities or sites.
