Hello, I am writing a paper related to the microbiome.
When comparing alpha diversity between two groups and observing that both Shannon and Simpson values are lower, how should it be interpreted?
As far as I know, a lower Shannon value indicates lower diversity, while a higher Simpson value suggests higher diversity.
Why would contradictory results be obtained in this case?
