The umbrella index is a measure of biodiversity that takes into account both the number of species and their relative abundance in a community. It is commonly used to assess the health and stability of aquatic ecosystems, such as streams and reservoirs.

To calculate the umbrella index for macroinvertebrates in R, you can use the "vegan" package, which provides several functions for analyzing diversity and community structure. The "diversity" function can be used to calculate the Shannon-Wiener index, which is a commonly used measure of biodiversity that is similar to the umbrella index.

Here is an example of how you can use the "vegan" package to calculate the Shannon-Wiener index for a dataset of macroinvertebrates in a stream:

# Load the vegan package

library(vegan)

# Load the macroinvertebrate dataset
