Species diversity, degree of similarity, and other related factors
Several statistical programs can be used to compute a wide range of existing diversity indices. One of the most widely used and acknowledged programs is R software. Species diversity indices, including Shannon, Simpson, Pielou, and several others, can be computed using this program through various packages, including the Vegan package. With this package, you can also perform SIMPER analysis to test for similarity and dissimilarity between communities.
Dear Sanjarbek Umarov Sidiqovich
Hello,
By using SDR4 software, calculating indices regarding species diversity, such as richness, evenness, the Shannon-Weiner, the Margalef index, the Simpson index, and others, is possible.
Oussama Rbiai Thank you for your answer! True, R studio is a multifunctional program. Does this have manuals to help you perform operations?
Sanjarbek Umarov Sidiqovich There is documentation for each package that will guide you in performing your analysis. Specifically, the Vegan package is widely used, so you can find tutorials to help you perform your analysis using this package in R.
