	Index of diversity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The index of diversity (also referred to as the Index of Variability) is a commonly used measure, in demographic research, to determine the variation in categorical data.
		An example of the use of the index of diversity would be a measure of racial diversity in a city.
		The interpretation of the diversity index score would be that the population of Sunflower City is not very heterogeneous but is also not homogeneous.

	Diversity index - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In ecology, a diversity index is a statistic which is intended to measure the biodiversity of an ecosystem.
		More generally, diversity indices can be used to assess the diversity of any population in which each member belongs to a unique species.
		Estimators for diversity indices are likely to be biased, so caution is advisable when comparing similar values.

		These diversity programs offer students the ability to acquire and develop advanced research skills through faculty mentoring relationships, the opportunity to present research at conferences and symposiums, in addition to offering comprehensive funding packages in the form of internal fellowships and assistantships.
		In most cases, it is the responsibility of the Faculty and Staff of the UCI academic department to which you are applying or currently enrolled to nominate you for diversity programs on the basis of relative merit and contribution to the diversity in that particular department or discipline.
		Diversity is not only a priority for UCI, but it is part of the collective mission of the University of California at-large.

		The USA TODAY Diversity Index is based on each of the five race categories recognized by the federal government and what percentage they are of the total population.
		Much of the increase in diversity is attributed to the rise in the number of Hispanics nationwide and even more dramatic increases in parts of the country that were not very diverse 10 years ago.
		In Kansas, for example, the Diversity Index rose from 21 in 1990 to 31 in 2000, although it was much higher in some parts of the state.

	Diversity Index
		The term diversity is usually synonymous with "variety" and is simply an indication of the number of different thing present.
		For example, we often speak of a "diversity of opinions." While simply counting the number of different types of opinions on a subject can give a rough idea of the "diversity of opinions," the numbers of people holding the various opinions must be taken into account to get a true sense of the diversity.
		In short, what this indicates is that the diversity of pond 1 is much higher than pond 2 even though both have the same number of species and individuals.

	DIVERSITY INDICES
		Introduction: A diversity index is a mathematical measure of species diversity in a community.
		The authors measured diversity in four different habitats ranging very low levels of human disturbance (primary rain forest) to very high levels of human disturbance (banana plantations) to assess the impacts of different levels of disturbance on biological diversity.
		Because diversity indices provide more information than simply the number of species present (i.e., they account for some species being rare and others being common), they serve as valuable tools that enable biologists to quantify diversity in a community and describe its numerical structure.

	Simpson's Diversity Index (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		To develop an understanding of the Simpson's diversity index as a measure of biodiversity.
		When maximum diversity occurs, the value of the index is zero and when minimum diversity occurs, the value of the index is 1.
		The range is therefore 0 - 1 with an inverse relationship between diversity and the index value.

	Field Problems: Biological Diversity and Habitat Disturbance Indicators
		Using Simpson’s Index of Diversity, based on probability theory, one is able to measure the likelihood of two individuals drawn at random from a community will be the same species.
		The diversity of these forest communities is very different even though they each have the same number of trees and tree species.
		Butterflies are used as an indicator of disturbance in that their diversity is inversely proportional to a forest’s integrity or lack of disturbance.

	Diversity Section Index of Dissimilarity
		The dissimilarity index was adapted by researchers for this purpose and is usually calculated at the census tract level.
		The index measures how similar the race/ethnic mix is at all the elementary schools in DuPage County and can range from “0” to “100.” A value of “0” would mean that the two groups evaluated (for example, white with fl) are evenly distributed in all schools and, therefore, fully integrated.
		Still, diversity in our neighborhoods and schools should be encouraged as it can have many positive influences.

		These aspects of diversity; variety and relative abundance, can relate to the complexity of a food web which may relate to the stability and function of an ecosystem.
		A diverse assemblage of organisms may display complex trophic, or feeding, relationships and this may allow for several alternative pathways of energy (as in organic carbon...or food) for the organisms in that assemblage.
		Various indices of "diversity" are applied to the aquatic environment in order to evaluate the state of its health.
