The Importance of Biodiversity

*Aesthetic/Scientific Value: The value of beauty and scientific discovery can’t be measured, but are important

*Direct Economic Value: Humans depend on plants and animals for food, clothing, energy, medicine and shelter.

Measuring BiodiversityMeasuring Biodiversity

Using a biodiversity indexScientists use different biodiversity indices depending on the situationWe will use the Simpson index to measure biodiversity on a scale of 0-1 (1 = most biodiverse)Takes into account:

Species richness- total # species in one area Species evenness- how evenly distributed the species are

Species EvennessSpecies Evenness

Simpson’s Index PracticeSimpson’s Index Practice

D is the Simpson’s Index n is the total number of organisms of a particular

species N is the total number of organisms of all species ∑ means “add up”!

D = 1-D = 1- ∑∑ n(n - 1)n(n - 1)N(N - 1)N(N - 1)

Simpson’s Index PracticeSimpson’s Index Practice

D = 1- ∑ n(n - 1)

N(N - 1) Species A 12 11 132

Species B 3 2 6

Species C 7 6 42

Species D 4 3 12

Pretend you collected the yellow data-

Simpson’s IndexSimpson’s Index

D =∑ n(n - 1)

N(N - 1)

N - 1 = 34N(N - 1) = 1190

N = total number of all individuals = 35

=264

N(N - 1)

D = 1- 264

1190= 0.782

This area would score 0.782 on the Simpson’s Index. Therefore, the score for this area indicates a high level of biodiversity.
