Coverage‐based rarefaction and extrapolation: standardizing samples by completeness rather than size
We propose an integrated sampling, rarefaction, and extrapolation methodology to compare
species richness of a set of communities based on samples of equal completeness (as …

Measuring diversity: the importance of species similarity
Realistic measures of biodiversity should reflect not only the relative abundances of species,
but also the differences between them. We present a natural family of diversity measures …
