Experiment B: Community ecologists study communities in different locations, and ask why the number of species differs with location. Comparisons can be made among communities using attributes such as species richness, species diversity, and evenness. Species richness is simply the number of species in a community. Species diversity is more complex, and includes a measure of the number of species in a community, and a measure of the abundance of each species. Species diversity is usually described by an index, such as Shannon's IndeY H'
