PART 2: Introduction to Diversity Indices (Measuring Diversity) Using the table, calculate the total abundance in the community and the Pi value for each species. Next, calculate the natural log of Pi for each species (ln(Pi)) and then multiply the two columns to calculate Pi * ln(Pi). Limit your numbers to three decimal places. The Wildebeest has been given as an example for you. Create your own table by clicking “Insert” and “Table” (You can also copy and paste the empty table and edit it). You are allowed to use a scientific calculator to solve the mathematical problems. Pi = species abundance/total abundance in the community ln = natural log Species Species Abundance Pi ln(Pi) Pi * ln(Pi) Wildebeest 2 0.027 -3.624 -0.097 Elephant 3 Zebra 5 Hippo 1 Impala 6 Lion 3 Baboon 17 Warbler 22 Crane 16 Total abundance in the community Start here H
