Ecology and Biology: Shannon Diversity Index: Definition & Example The Shannon Diversity Index (sometimes called the Shannon-Wiener Index) is a way to measure the diversity of species in a community. Denoted as H, this index is calculated as: H = -Σpi * ln(pi) where: Σ: A Greek symbol that means “sum” ln: Natural log pi: The proportion of the entire community made up of species i The higher the value of H, the higher the diversity of species in a particular community. The lower the value of H, the lower the diversity. A value of H = 0 indicates a community that only has one species. The Shannon Equitability Index is a way to measure the evenness of species in a community. The term “evenness” simply refers to how similar the abundances of different species are in the community. Denoted as EH, this index is calculated as: EH = H / ln(S) where: H: The Shannon Diversity Index S: The total number of unique species What is the Shannon diversity index value for this community? What…

Place a species distribution in order from smallest to largest. Group of answer choices Geographic range < Population < Metapopulation Geographic range < Metapopulation < Population Metapopulation < Population < Geographic range Population < Metapopulation < Geographic range
Populations of organisms can be found as clumps, randomly dispersed, or uniformly dispersed. Classify each of the following populations by the way it is dispersed in its ecosystem. Dandelions that produce many seeds dispersed through wind energy Tree of heaven that can produce clones of itself via underground roots called suckers that spread out from the parent tree Honey bees that maintain one social hive Red squirrels defending their individual territories from other red squirrels in the ecosystem
Visit the website of International Union of Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and open the Red List of Threatened Species, https://www.iucnredlist.org/. Research a species (plant or animal) of your choice, submit your findings containing the following information: Species name and picture UICN status Species origin Population size Threats Conservation Action
You are comparing species diversity between four different habitats: which of the following habitats is the most diverse? Habitat A has 15 species total, with approximately equal representation across all species Habitat B has 15 species total, and is dominated by two of its fifteen species Habitat C has 3 species total, with approximately equal representation across all species Habitat D has 3 species total, and is dominated by one of its three species Habitats A and B are equally diverse
Biodiversity: Values & Threats 1. In terms of the number of species in various taxonomic groups, what types of organisms represent thegreatest diversity on our planet? And how do we know we’re not “done” cataloging all of life on earth? 2. When scientists try to estimate the number of species that actually exist on earth today, why is thefigure so variable? 3. Describe the global biodiversity patterns found in relation these parameters:Latitude Precipitation Elevation 4. In a well-crafted paragraph (5-7 descriptive sentences) specifically describe 4 key ways thatbiodiversity benefits mankind. Use examples to support each of your statements.
How to I calculate # species Canada and % Total for the IUCN table? Under the redlist catagory the following are choosen Critically Endangered (CR), Endangered (EN), and Vulnerable (VU). Use tha attached file to answer the question.
Biodiversity is the study of the variety of life. Which of the following is/are ways we can measure biodiversity? Endemic Species Ecosystem Genetic Climate Community Species
Which one of the following statements is FALSE? Beta diversity is low when two ecosystems share the similar species and respective abundance. An intelligent meander records date, time, location and a list of species. Beta diversity or differentiation diversity compares alpha diversity among several communities. Species richness is the total species abundance in an ecosystem. Inventory diversity can be defined by alpha diversity, which is the number of species in a local forest stand.
Two species of bird live in the same tree. Seeds only grow at the tops of the tree and insects only live at the bottom of the tree. Bird species A lives in the tops of the trees and eats both insects and seeds. Bird species B lives in the bottom of the tree and only eats insects. Which of the following describes why these two species live together in the same community? Group of answer choices Species A and Species B have the same fundamental niche. Species A and Species B have the same realized niche. Species A and Species B have a different fundamental niche. Species A and Species B have a different realized niche.
