A group of colleagues and I are looking for a full list of the diversity indexes that have been published in order to carry a review and analysis about its redundancy. However, the references he have found (Moreno, 2003; Villareal et al. 2004; Magurran & MGill, 2011; Morris et al. 2014 for example) only provide only a list of the commonest. May anyone suggest me a sort of references I could use to enrich the list of indexes we could use to carry our analysis?
Thanks in advance,
Carlos A. Ordóñez-Parra
Arvind, thank you so much for sharing with me this documents! I'm sure they will very useful for our work.
Carlos, You may want to check Jost 2006 Entropy and diversity, and Jost 2007 Partitioning diversity into independent alpha and beta diversity. These describe 'effective number of species' or Hill numbers. These are quite useful and come around several issues of traditional diversity indeces and are pretty straight forward to compute, these are also related to traditional indeces such as Shannon or Simpson.
Hi, Carlos,
this is good idea and I think that you are working in a team as the question raised is extremely complicated.
In my site you can find some articles on a problem with new indices (in Russian) but short time I will translate into English.

As well one book from Russian colleagues (Attached)
and one book in functional biodiversity (Att)
As well good recommendations from Juan - Shluter is in open acc. but I have Tuomisto paper (it looks closed in In) (Att)

Thanks Jaime, Juan and Andrey for your help!. I'm going to keep in mind all your suggestions and the literature you've recommended me. Greetings from Colombia!
A full list of diversity indexes and practical use is the Estimates program, free to use. It can calulate richness in your samples by calculating different estimators.
I humbly salutate you

Here is a Kansas-specific paper. http://biosurvey.ku.edu/sites/biosurvey.ku.edu/files/publishedworks/pdfs/KBSRept35b.pdf
Estimado colega Ordoñez-Parra:
Existe parece un libro antiguo pero que se refiere explicitamente a este tema: Harper, D.A.T. (ed.). 1999. Numerical Palaeobiology. John Wiley & Sons. El programa estadístico PAST también permite este tipo de análisis y hace algún análisis de ellos. Creo que pudiera interesarte tambien el Numerical Ecology 2dn English Edition de Legendre and Legendre (1998) ISSN 0167-8892 y este otro: Experimental Design and Data Analysis for Biologists de G. Quinn & M. Keough 2002, published in the United States of America by Cambridge University Press, New York, quizás te sean utiles, saludos cordiales de Eduardo
