Information Theory Broadens the Spectrum of Molecular Ecology and Evolution.

Trends in ecology & evolution - 1 Dec 2017

Sherwin W B, Chao A, Jost L, Smouse P E

Abstract excerpt

Information or entropy analysis of diversity is used extensively in community ecology, and has recently been exploited for prediction and analysis in molecular ecology and evolution. Information measures belong to a spectrum (or q profile) of measures whose contrasting properties provide a rich summary of diversity, including allelic richness (q=0), Shannon information (q=1), and heterozygosity (q=2). We present...
