Simpson’s Diversity Index Simpson’s Diversity Index is a measure both of species richness (i.e. the number of different species present) and species evenness (i.e. how evenly distributed each species is). \(D =…
Simpson’s Diversity Index Simpson’s Diversity Index is a measure both of species richness (i.e. the number of different species present) and species evenness (i.e. how evenly distributed each species is). \(D = \frac{(N\;\times\;(N\;-\;1))}{(Σn\;\times\;(n\;-\;1))}\) \(D\) = Simpson’s Diversity Index\(n\) = the number of individuals of each species\(N\) = the total number…
