May I request the members of the group to provide me information regarding some "Biodiversity analysis software packages".
I can suggest two free package Biodiversity Pro and MVSP and also one paid package CANOCO.
I also use Community Analyses Packages 4
Species Diversity and Richness
and
ECOM II
Depending on your question (and which dimension of biodiversity you are considering), there are different packages in R that are very helpful. As someone already pointed out, "vegan" is good (for some stuff), but for functional diversity, I'd recommend the "FD" package which has both Rao's Q and FDis, and for phylogenetic diversity, I'd recommend the "picante" package.
EstimateS is a good software for biodiversity estimation

I concur with Kevin, it really depends on the soecific question you want to address. I have used CANOCO (with CANODRAW) and PRIMER and found them very useful for various aspects of biodiversity analyses. However, these are not free.
I hope PAST really helpful and user friendly to the analysis of diversity indices
Primer - useful to cluster analysis and MDS analysis
CANOCA with CANODRAW useful to PCA, CCA and RDA analysis
Based on your need of analysis select your required software
I used PAST before and it is very useful and user friendly.
Another program is also useful for the above analysis is PCORD.
I think that Estimates is a very good program, also you can find useful the program "Tree diversity analysis" , wich accompanied the book from the same name. The authors are Roeland Kindt and Richard Coe, edited by World Agroforestry Center.
Mm hello i am interesting the dendrochronology...an your??
PAST free biodiversity analysis is really very good. I have lot of satisfaction because its free and near about complete multivariate analysis package. I have 1 publication from past also...

MVSP (Multi-Variate Statistical Package - http://www.kovcomp.com/mvsp/?gclid=CI2_0pP2pbACFQUEnQod6lptYg).
wk.
I will appreciate if you can send me the complete address to download PAST.
Thank you very much.
Biodiversity pro & PAST both are suitable for this type of studies
Beware that Biodiversity Pro has a bug in the calculation of Margalef diversity index.
For species richness estimation i recommend EstimateS (http://viceroy.eeb.uconn.edu/estimates/) for niche overlap and other analyses ECOSIM (http://www.garyentsminger.com/ecosim/index.htm) and for other ecological analyses the BIODIVERSITY R )http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/BiodiversityR/BiodiversityR.pdf) and its text book: http://www.worldagroforestry.org/resources/databases/tree-diversity-analysis
Dear Tshering;
R-cran- vegan is a suitable community ecology package in R software for GNU Linux distributions.
Sincerely yours;
Saeed
BioDiversity Pro software is also an open-source and user-friendly
Dear Ankush,
You can download Biodiversity Pro Software here https://www.sams.ac.uk/science/outputs/
but note that the programme has not been updated for more recent operating systems it may not function fully on Windows PC operating systems beyond XP. It can run on Windows XP but may lose functionality when installed on other systems such as Windows Vista.
Kindly suggest
In which condition Simpson Index, Dominance Simpson Index and Reciprocal Simpson Index are used?
Species Richness and Diversity III 3.0
It offers a wide range of alpha and beta diversity-related methods
https://species-richness-and-diversity-iii.software.informer.com/3.0/
Maybe suggest it would be best to search the software from R. There are a list of softwares, in which you may select and download the package, I am sure you can find the answer there.
Several good videos available on the web...
Just take a look inside...
good luck
I can't find one after several attempt. Kindly help with one Prof.
