Species richness is the number of different species represented in an ecological community, landscape or region. Species richness is simply a count of...

Species richness, or biodiversity, increases from the poles to the tropics for a wide variety of terrestrial and marine organisms, often referred to as...

Meanings of species diversity may include species richness, taxonomic or phylogenetic diversity, and/or species evenness. Species richness is a simple...

is a technique to assess species richness from the results of sampling. Rarefaction allows the calculation of species richness for a given number of individual...

estimating abundance. Species evenness is combined with species richness, (the number of species in the community), in order to determine species diversity, which...

Relative species abundance and species richness describe key elements of biodiversity. Relative species abundance refers to how common or rare a species is...
