Measuring species diversity in the tropics: a review of methodological approaches and framework for future studies

2018-11-01

Abstract excerpt

The analysis of species diversity has benefited from multiple methodological approaches that are changing not only the way we measure biodiversity, but also our general conceptualization of it. We review the concepts and methods for measuring species diversity, including a report on how species diversity has been measured in tropical ecosystems, and summarize current methodological approaches that can be used to a...
