Taxonomic distinctness and diversity measures: responses in marine fish communities
In a recent paper Warwick & Clarke (1995: Mar Ecol Prog Ser 129:301-305) introduced 2 new measures of community diversity, A and A' These measures dlffer from more conventional d~ver sity indices by incorporating the taxonomic relatedness of species into their calculation. In this paper we compare temporal trends in A and A' with more conventional diversity measures for the demersal fish commun...
متن کاملDiversity Assessment of Lotic Macroalgal Flora by the Application of Taxonomic Distinctness Index
The main aim of this study was to assess the diversity of four stream algal divisions (Cyanobacteria, Chlorophyta, Ochrophyta and Rhodophyta) by comparing results obtained with taxonomic distinctness index and diversity patterns of previous studies. The data were obtained from a study made in 1000 stream segments in North American biomes. The taxonomic arrangement of the taxa was created from s...
متن کاملThe use of taxonomic diversity indices in the assessment of perturbed community recovery
The spatial dynamics of ecological diversity are studied in two regions (Sudbury, Canada and Harjavalta, Finland) damaged by air pollution from copper and nickel smelting. Perturbation from pollution is assumed to be most intense near the source and to decrease with distance. Monitoring sites were therefore selected to traverse these pollution gradients. Using Rhyi's generalized entropy as a me...
متن کاملassessment of deep word knowledge in elementary and advanced iranian efl learners: a comparison of selective and productive wat tasks
testing plays a vital role in any language teaching program. it allows teachers and stakeholders, including program administrators, parents, admissions officers and prospective employers to be assured that the learners are progressing according to an accepted standard (douglas, 2010). the problems currently facing language testers have both practical and theoretical implications but the first i...
phylogeography and genetic diversity of the lesser mouse- eared bat (myotis blythii) in iran
in current study, 63 samples of bat populations collected from differ regions were used for evaluating the geographic variations. twenty cranial and dental characters for traditional morphometric and landmarks method on the ventral, dorsal skull and mandible for geometry morphometric studies were used. statistical analyses of traditional morphometric and geometry morphometric data indicated low...
