A diversity index is a method of measuring how many different types (e.g. species) there are in a dataset (e.g. a community). Some more sophisticated indices also account for the phylogenetic relatedness among the types.[1] Diversity indices are statistical representations of different aspects of biodiversity (e.g. richness, evenness, and dominance), which are useful simplifications for comparing different communities or sites.
