19 In what way is the ShannonWeiner diversity index H better

-19. In what way is the Shannon-Weiner diversity index, H\', better than species richness (S) at determining the diversity of a community? a. H\'is easier to calculate than S Op H\' is less affected by how much area was sampled, so it\'s easier to compare between studies c. H\'can show differences between communities that have the same number of species d. A andb e. B and c 20. In Paine\'s study of temperate and subtropical intertidal communities, removal of the top predator (a starfish) resulted in a. Species richness decreased by 1 (the one that was removed) b. Species richness increased but the number of trophic levels decreased c. Species richness decreased a lot, and the proportion of predators went down d. Predators increased, and so did the herbivores

Solution

SOLUTION;1 . B is the correct option, slope decreases mean relative abundance decreases with species rank.
