Diversity Indices - Simpson's Index - Shannon-Weiner Index - Brillouin Index Species Abundance Models Describing Communities There are two important descriptors of a community: 1) its physiognomy (physical structure), as described in the previous lecture, and 2) the number of species present and their relative abundances (species richness and diversity). Since the mean of the proportional abundance of the species increases with decreasing number of species and increasing abundance of the most abundant species, the value of D obtains small values in data sets of high diversity and large values in data sets with low diversity. For this reason, Simpson’s index is usually expressed as its inverse (1/D) or its compliment (1-D) which is also known as the Gini-Simpson index. Simpson’s index is a weighted arithmetic mean of proportional abundance and measures the probability that two individuals randomly selected from a sample will belong to the same species. ��ج�A�I��;�oiҭ� H$�Ͻ=4mp0���$ y��T� �� A�J����� iq���D�ހB���l�TM�m���E��!���_g}ѓ�u&�iPL��GY�{״/�#r��˻�Yf����ɔ��g�X�q������$�t#�(�n$�h?U`t@�,���έ �I�@I�rO(��b��A?�����Nf X6�/��߸d�n�Ny�f��!�uKW��Ȅ���+=�s6qA5���iU�;P�W��y�D,Q���vH�]x�ؔ��⺬*Ȋ��Y~e�$ľh^p[l���N��Ȝ�g�We}���#�m�MQy�}-��Ҿ���^W8�z���

Diversity Indices - Simpson's Index - Shannon-Weiner Index - Brillouin Index Species Abundance Models Describing Communities There are two important descriptors of a community: 1) its physiognomy (physical structure), as described in the previous lecture, and 2) the number of species present and their relative abundances (species richness and diversity). Since the mean of the proportional abundance of the species increases with decreasing number of species and increasing abundance of the most abundant species, the value of D obtains small values in data sets of high diversity and large values in data sets with low diversity. For this reason, Simpson’s index is usually expressed as its inverse (1/D) or its compliment (1-D) which is also known as the Gini-Simpson index. Simpson’s index is a weighted arithmetic mean of proportional abundance and measures the probability that two individuals randomly selected from a sample will belong to the same species. ��ج�A�I��;�oiҭ� H$�Ͻ=4mp0���$ y��T� �� A�J����� iq���D�ހB���l�TM�m���E��!���_g}ѓ�u&�iPL��GY�{״/�#r��˻�Yf����ɔ��g�X�q������$�t#�(�n$�h?U`t@�,���έ �I�@I�rO(��b��A?�����Nf X6�/��߸d�n�Ny�f��!�uKW��Ȅ���+=�s6qA5���iU�;P�W��y�D,Q���vH�]x�ؔ��⺬*Ȋ��Y~e�$ľh^p[l���N��Ȝ�g�We}���#�m�MQy�}-��Ҿ���^W8�z���

Diversity Indices - Simpson's Index - Shannon-Weiner Index - Brillouin Index Species Abundance Models Describing Communities There are two important descriptors of a community: 1) its physiognomy (physical structure), as described in the previous lecture, and 2) the number of species present and their relative abundances (species richness and diversity). Since the mean of the proportional abundance of the species increases with decreasing number of species and increasing abundance of the most abundant species, the value of D obtains small values in data sets of high diversity and large values in data sets with low diversity. For this reason, Simpson’s index is usually expressed as its inverse (1/D) or its compliment (1-D) which is also known as the Gini-Simpson index. Simpson’s index is a weighted arithmetic mean of proportional abundance and measures the probability that two individuals randomly selected from a sample will belong to the same species. ��ج�A�I��;�oiҭ� H$�Ͻ=4mp0���$ y��T� �� A�J����� iq���D�ހB���l�TM�m���E��!���_g}ѓ�u&�iPL��GY�{״/�#r��˻�Yf����ɔ��g�X�q������$�t#�(�n$�h?U`t@�,���έ �I�@I�rO(��b��A?�����Nf X6�/��߸d�n�Ny�f��!�uKW��Ȅ���+=�s6qA5���iU�;P�W��y�D,Q���vH�]x�ؔ��⺬*Ȋ��Y~e�$ľh^p[l���N��Ȝ�g�We}���#�m�MQy�}-��Ҿ���^W8�z���

Simpson’s Diversity Index . The number of individuals is more evenly distributed between the three species. Typically, the value of a diversity index increases when the number of types increases and the evenness increases.
