Species diversity indices, Biology

Assignment Help:

From an ecological point of view, species richness alone has limited value. More meaningful measures use the number of different species in a given area (species richness) as well as the relative abundance (in terms of numbers) of individuals in each species. For example, the Shannon-Wiener Index of diversity uses both species richness and the relative abundance of species in its computation of the diversity index.
