A view of the indices used to assess species diversity in benthic diatom associations
Based on the observed behaviour of three diversity indexes, Shannon-Wiener's H', Pielou's J' and the complement of Simpson's Index (1- lambda ), in several studies of benthic diatom associations, it is concluded that H' reflects better their species diversity, but it is...

| Zusammenfassung: | Based on the observed behaviour of three diversity indexes, Shannon-Wiener's H', Pielou's J' and the complement of Simpson's Index (1- lambda ), in several studies of benthic diatom associations, it is concluded that H' reflects better their species diversity, but it is useful to complement the analysis with the other two indices. |
