How to Calculate Biodiversity and Ecology  College Biology 2 Advanced Concepts

 

 

Background Information 

In the Shannon index, p is the proportion (n/N) of individuals of one particular species found (n) divided by the total number of individuals found (N), ln is the natural log, Σ is the sum of the calculations, and s is the number of species...

 

Species Evenness

Species evenness takes into account the number of species and the relative abundance of species in a community. Several indices have been proposed. Two of the commonly used measures of evenness are the Shannon index (H) and the Simpson index (D).

 

Question 2: What is the Shannon diversity index value for this community? What is the species evenness for this community?
