Empirical Relationships between Species Richness, Evenness, and Proportional Diversity.
Diversity (or biodiversity) is typically measured by a species count (richness) and sometimes with an evenness index; it may also be measured by a proportional statistic that combines both measures (e.g., Shannon-Weiner index or H'). These diversity measures are hypothesized to be positively and strongly correlated, but this null hypothesis has not been tested empirically. We used the results o...
متن کاملDiversity, Species Richness and Evenness of Moth Fauna of Peshawar
Moths were collected from different parts of Peshawar during June to August in 2007 to determine their diversity, species richness and evenness. A total number of 774 moth specimens were collected by using simple light traps operated from dusk to dawn daily for sixty nights. The moths caught were identified up to family level. Families Noctuidae, Pyralidae, Arctiidae, Geometridae, Sphingidae an...
متن کاملSpecies richness and evenness in Australian birds.
Species richness and evenness are the two major components of biodiversity, but the way in which they are interrelated is a subject of contention. We found a negative relationship between the two variables for bird communities at 92 woodland sites across Australia and sought an explanation. Actual evapotranspiration (AET) was by far the best predictor of species richness. When AET was controlle...
متن کاملRealistically Low Species Evenness Does Not Alter Grassland Species-richness–productivity Relationships
Biodiversity is declining worldwide from reductions in both species richness and evenness. Field experiments have shown that primary productivity is often reduced when richness of plant species is lowered. However, experiments testing richness effects have used evenness levels that are much higher than normally encountered in plant communities and have been based on the assumption that species ...
متن کاملDiversity, Species Richness and Evenness of Arctiidae and Geometriidae Moth Fauna of Barpeta and Cachar District
Moth species were studied from some selected districts of Assam (i.e., Cachar and Barpeta district) to determine their diversity index, species richness and evenness of Arctiidae and Geometriidae family of the moth fauna.The moths were collected by applying specialized trapping methods using UV light operating during night. Collected moth species were identified up to family-genusspecies level....
