- Ecology and Biology: Shannon Diversity Index: Definition & Example The Shannon Diversity Index (sometimes called the Shannon-Wiener Index) is a way to measure the diversity of species in a community. Denoted as H, this index is calculated as: H = -Σpi * ln(pi) where: Σ: A Greek symbol that means “sum” ln: Natural log pi: The proportion of the entire community made up of species i The higher the value of H, the higher the diversity of species in a particular community. The lower the value of H, the lower the diversity. A value of H = 0 indicates a community that only has one species. The Shannon Equitability Index is a way to measure the evenness of species in a community. The term “evenness” simply refers to how similar the abundances of different species are in the community. Denoted as EH, this index is calculated as: EH = H / ln(S) where: H: The Shannon Diversity Index S: The total number of unique species What is the Shannon diversity index value for this community?

You know that 7 snails were originally let go in the lake by a cottager. The lake has no snail predators nor any other species occupying the same or a similar ecological niche. You know from your research that, under ideal conditions, the instantaneous rate of increase of this snail species is 0.5. You also think the conditions on the lake were ideal when the snails were introduced. After surveying the food available in the lake, you estimated that there is enough food to support a population of 1696 snails. How many snails do expect to be in the lake now?arrow_forward
