Converting quadratic entropy to diversity: Both animals and alleles are diverse, but some are more diverse than others.

Abstract excerpt

The use of diversity metrics has a long history in population ecology, while population genetic work has been dominated by variance-derived metrics instead, a technical gap that has slowed cross-communication between the fields. Interestingly, Rao's Quadratic Entropy (RQE), comparing elements for 'degrees of divergence', was originally developed for population ecology, but has recently been deployed for...
