Unifying Species Diversity, Phylogenetic Diversity, Functional Diversity, and Related Similarity and Differentiation Measures Through Hill Numbers by Chao, Anne, Chiu, Chun-Huo, Jost, Lou

Distance-based functional diversity measures and their decomposition: a framework based on Hill numbers by Chiu, Chun-Huo, Chao, Anne

“…Hill numbers (or the "effective number of species") are increasingly used to characterize species diversity of an assemblage. This work extends Hill numbers to…”
