Alpha species diversity measured by Shannon’s H-index: Some misunderstandings and underexplored traits, and its key role in exploring the trophodynamic stability of dynamic multiscapes
The spectrum of species diversity (SDi) can be broken down into αSDi (taxocene level), βSDi (community level), and γSDi (metacommunity level). Species richness (S) and Shannon’s index (H) are well-known SDi measures. The use of S as a surrogate for SDi often neglects evenness (J). Additionally, ther...
