Statistically it is expressed by the richness estimators like Chao1 richness estimator, which is given by the formula as: Sest=Sobs+(f1)22f2 Where, Sest=number of species estimated, Sobs=number of species observed, f1=number of singleton taxa (taxa with only one species in that community),...

For each formula, X and Y refer to area and species richness, respectively Full size table The logarithmic curve meets this requirement, which species-rich shrublands are more likely to obey, with most species accumulating in a small area and just a few rare species being added as sample ...
We then estimated (uncorrected) species richness, Su, from each of the samples by fitting Fisher’s α to the sampled data and applying the formula \({S}_{u}=\alpha \times {\rm{ln}}\left(1+\frac{N}{\alpha }\right)\). From each of the samples we also derived continental-scale ...
Species diversity is the combination of the species composition as well as the species richness. Species richness refers to the total number of individuals within each species.What is Species Composition? Species composition refers to the total number of different living organisms within a given biome...
Changes in diversity were correlated closely with species richness (r = 0.972), while the relative abundance component remained stable. Among the nine community types represented, diversity and species richness increased with foliage height diversity. The relatively abundance component was strikingly low ...
The Shannon diversity index (a.k.a. the Shannon–Wiener diversity index) is a popular metric used in ecology. It'sbased on Claude Shannon's formula for entropy and estimates species diversity. The index takes into account the number of species living in a habitat (richness) and their relati...
So far, macroecological studies in the Himalaya have mostly concentrated on spatial variation of overall species richness along the elevational gradient. Very few studies have attempted to document the difference in elevational richness patterns of native and exotic species. In this study, this knowledg...
breve abundance and the pH, as well as species richness. The near-complete dominance of B. breve in HM enrichments slightly deviates from the natural gut microbiomes of breastfed infants. We speculate the greater prevalence of B. breve in HM enrichments compared to the infant’s gut is ...
species richness and evenness contribute almost equally to the changes in tree species diversity (H′ values), while the contribution of evenness (β = 0.47;βrepresents the sensitivity of change in diversity against changes in the explanatory variable) significantly exceeds that of richness (β...
