Shannon diversity index: a call to replace the original Shannon’s formula with unbiased estimator in the population genetics studies
Background The Shannon diversity index has been widely used in population genetics studies. Recently, it was proposed as a unifying measure of diversity at different levels—from genes and populations to whole species and ecosystems. The index, however, was proven to be negatively biased at small sam...
