## Pond Animal Community B

### Instructions

Determine the diversity of the animal community in the pond using the Shannon Diversity Index. Calculate the species evenness of the community using Pielou's Evenness Index. Answer the questions at the bottom of the page. Use your answers on this handout to complete the Blackboard assignment: HW 6 Shannon Diversity Index and Pielou’s Evenness Index.

### Diagram

The diagram illustrates a pond ecosystem, showing various plants and animals. It features:

- Aquatic plants emerging from the water.
- A dragonfly perched on one of the plants.
- Fish swimming in the pond.
- Other plants and organisms depicted both above and below the water surface.

### Table

#### Species Diversity Data

| Species | Number | \( p_i \) | \( \ln p_i \) | \( p_i \ln p_i \) |
|---------|--------|-----------|---------------|-------------------|
| Frog    |        |           |               |                   |

Complete the table with the observed number of each species, calculate the proportion (p_i), the natural logarithm of \( p_i \) (\( \ln p_i \)), and \( p_i \ln p_i \).

This table will aid in calculating the Shannon Diversity and Pielou’s Evenness Indices for analyzing pond biodiversity.
