Subject: Re: Question about the Shannon Diversity Index
Re: conversion factors from one base to another, use
log(b)[x] = log(a)[x]/log(a)[b]
i.e., log to the base b of x = (log to the base a of
x) divided by (log to the base a of b)
a is often chosen to be the base 10 or the base e.
e.g.,
log(2)[x] = log(e)[x]/log(e)[2]
I have a program that calculates four species
diversity indices. These are the Shannon index, the
Simpson index, the Camargo even-ness index and the
Pielou regularity index (Mouillot and Leprêtre, 1999).
Let me know if it is of any use. I can send it as an
e-mail attachment.

Subject: Re: Finding a Post doc
Hi Rob,
You can also go the route of writing to professors whose work you admire and
asking if they are looking for a postdoc. There are also some postdoctoral
fellowships that you can apply for (National Research Council, The Nature
Conservancy... I think NSF and EPA). Anyone else know of some others?

Subject: Re: Question about the Shannon Diversity Index
In graduate school, I was fascinated by the theory behind the Shannon index,
but wondered what the index meant when calculated for a particular assemblag
of living things. So, using a data set including vascular plant species
lists with importance values for 2700 sampled plots within apparently
homogenous plant communities, I calculated the Shannon index (and some other
indices like Simpson) for each plot.
I then created an x,y scatter plot with number of species per plot on the
y-axis and the Shannon index along the x-axis. The result was a big blob
with fairly distinct boundaries. The blob was truly a blob and hinted of no
linearity in any direction. My observation was that a single value of
Shannon (for example 2.36 if calculated using the natural log approach) coul
represent a plant community with a higher number of species and an uneven
relative abundance distribution OR a plant community with a lower number of
species and a more even relative abundance distribution.
Thus, because "number of species "and "evenness" combine to define the notio
of diversity, I concluded that a number calculated using the Shannon formula
said little about diversity by itself, and meant very little when compared
with other numbers resulting from calculations using the Shannon formula.
I realize this is far from the original question, but I was inspired to writ
due to the number of obvious Shannon index experts paying attention to this
thread:
My question--what do people use Shannon for? Do large data sets, describing
other organisms, plotted as I described above also result in blobs? How do
people interpret results of calculations based on Shannon? Does Shannon
correlate with environmental variables, either abiotic or biotic? What does
it all mean in an applied sense? These questions have nagged at me since
1994 when I began my grad school project and stared at that first blob for
hours.

Gretchen is quite correct. As was mentioned earlier, Warren Weaver's primary
contribution was to write an introduction to Shannon's 1949 book, which was
re-publication of his 1948 BSTJ papers, in an attempt to introduce his ideas
to a much wider audience.
In that 1949 introduction, Weaver wrote the following regarding the history
of the development of the ideas:
"Dr. Shannon's work roots back, as von Neumann has pointed out, to
Boltzmann's observation, in some of his work on statistical physics (1894),
that entropy is related to "missing information," inasmuch as it is related
to the number of alternatives which remain possible to a physical system
after all the macroscopically observable information concerning it has been
recorded. L. Szilard (Zsch. f. Phys. Vol. 53, 1925) extended this idea to a
general discussion of information in physics, and von Neumann (Math.
Foundation of Quantum Mechanics, Berlin, 1932, Chap. V) treated information
in quantum mechanics and particle physics. Dr. Shannon's work connects more
directly with certain ideas developed some twenty years ago by H. Nyquist an
R.V.L. Hartley, both of the Bell Laboratories; and Dr. Shannon has himself
emphasized that communication theory owes a great debt to Professor Norbert
Wiener for much of its basic philosophy. Professor Wiener, on the other hand
points out that Shannon's early work on switching and mathematical logic
antedated his own interest in this field; and generously adds that Shannon
certainly deserves the credit for independent development of such fundamenta
aspects of the theory as the introduction of entropic ideas. Shannon has
naturally been specially concerned to push the applications to engineering
communication, while Wiener has been more concerned with biological
application (central nervous system phenomena, etc.)."

I am glad you only stared at it for hours! Ecologists have stared at H'
for decades, sometimes divining meaning from it as reliable as tea-leaf
readings.
H', like most other diversity measures, is a dual index: it is high if
richness is high, or evenness is high, or both. Thus, any interpretation
of H' without a simultanous discussion of richness and evenness is a bit
difficult to evaluate. At best, it is a measure of the uncertainty as to
who your neighbor is.
If you already have richness and evenness (admittedly, one typically
calculates diversity indices as the first step towards calculating
evenness), then there is not much point to interpreting H' or similar
measures.
The choice of an appropriate evenness measure is nontrivial, and of course
there is a substantial literature on it. However, the concept of evenness
is fundamentally different from that of richness, and It doesn't advance
biodiversity theory very much to lump them together in a single index,
however elegantly.
Neither richness nor evenness (nor other single indices) completely
describe species diversity: if one is truly interested in describing the
abundance distribution of a sample, there is no substitute for the
abundance distribution itself (e.g. a dominance-diversity curve).

Recently, I posted a request for information on techniques for recording

Dorcas seems the best established, and there are commercially available
systems (see http://www.bedfordtechnical.com/index.htm )
Here is the complete list of responses:
_______________________________
I'm responding to your recent posting on the University of Maryland
ecology listserve. I'm currently developing an online Managers'
Monitoring Manual which has lists of counting techniques for various

the "real" version should be

You might want to talk to Dr. Mike Dorcas- - he's developed a remote

recorder for amphibian calls.
For an introduction, see Peterson and Dorcas. 1994. Automated Data
Acquisition. Page 47-56 in Measuring and Monitoring Biological
Diversity: Standard Methods for Amphibians (Heyer et al., eds.).

I am sure great things have developed over the last decade, and I look
forward to seeing the summary.

I've known a few amphibian researchers that have used frogloggers
(automated frog recording devices) to conduct frog call surveys for
them. They're basically a tape recorder and a couple of timers in an
ammo case with a microphone attached that can be built fairly cheaply
and then set out in a wetland to record calls at specified intervals
throughout the night. I'm not personally an expert at building them,
but here are some references that should help:

Hi: I record bird and frog calls with some good fidelity binaural mikes
from Core Sound (www.core-sound.com). They range in price from ca.
$100-$1000 for a pair, and give you real nice stereo separation. I
don't know what level of fidelity this person needs. They'd need to be
protected somewhat from the weather -- couldn't be exposed to full,
long-term rains. These may or may not be appropriate...I just wanted to
mention them as very good mikes (I have the ca. $300 pair) with very
good fidelity and separation.
___________________________
A recent graduate student used cheap (ca. $10 each), simple cassette
recorders from Walmart with great success. A 45 minute tape (one side)
provide a long record after she left the wetland, and the microphone
within the tape recorder worked great - plenty of vocalizations, but
not from so far away that records were confused among neighboring
wetlands. She could set out multiple recorders, and make the rounds
again to record in a new set of wetlands, and cover a lot of turf in one
night. The taping worked so well that a local expert who spends many
nights listening was quite impressed.
A 45-minute tape could allow time for someone to walk into a wetland at
night, set the recorder down in a dry place (or strapped to a stake),
and leave, thus permitting frogs to start chorusing again unimpeded.
Once the tape stops, the machine is off and can be recovered any time
later (though it may need to be hidden in an urban setting).
_____________________________
Hi there. you requested info on the listserver for leads to recorders
for frog calls. I am a field biologist and I have worked for The
University of Minnesota recording frog calls. The Center For Water and
Environment has a neat little setup for recording frog calls. Basically
we used a plastic box to house the tape recorder in. Then we connected
the microphone to the tape recorder and fed it through a hole in the
plastic box. We loaded the recorders with tapes. We took the devices out
to the field and pressed record. We then put the device in a black
plastic trash bag. The microphone cord sticks out of the bag. To amplify
the frog call sounds we stuck a cone shaped object over the microphone
part and sat it on the black plastic bag. Then we let the recorders go
all night and picked them back up the next day. This works pretty well.

ECOLOGIST
Department of Biology, University of Central Arkansas, Conway, AR 72035
A tenure-track position is available for an Ecologist at the
Assistant or Associate Professor level. Preference will be given to
aquatic ecologists working at the community or ecosystem level, and
who have a strong quantitative background. A Ph.D. is required.
The Department of Biology contains 23 full-time faculty, most holding
doctorates. The department serves over 500 undergraduate majors in
three major areas of interest: ecology/evolutionary biology,
preprofessional studies, and general biology. In addition, the
department takes a lead role in our Environmental Science Program,
where most students pursue the biology track. About 20 students are
currently enrolled in the department's MS program. About 1,500
students per year take our Biology for General Education course (with
lab), and we offer several large service courses for health science
majors.
The biology faculty are dedicated to quality teaching. The
candidate's teaching responsibilities will include General Ecology,
Biometry, contribution to the lower-division curriculum, and an upper
division elective or graduate course in the candidate's area of
specialty. New faculty have a reduced teaching load, and eventually
carry a 12 contact hour/week load. Teaching load can be reduced
through reassigned time and sabbatical programs. Most of the faculty
are actively engaged in research, and the candidate is expected to
develop an active research program. Funding sources of current
faculty have included NSF, NIH, American Heart Association, USDA,
EPA, the Smithsonian Institution, private foundations. and various
state and local agencies. Start-up assistance is provided.
The Department of Biology occupies about 50,000 sq-ft in Lewis
Science Center. Most rooms have optical fiber access to campus
resources and the internet. We maintain an extensive equipment
inventory. Multiple computer stations are employed in cell biology,
physiology, molecular biology, and the freshman Biology-I course, and
are available for ecology and biometry courses. We are currently
adding a laser confocal microscope to our existing advanced
microscopy facility, which contains a new SEM. Access to a variety of
analytical instruments is also available. Additional teaching and
research resources include a well-equipped graphics lab, modern
animal rooms, five large growth chambers, two large greenhouses, and
several outdoor experimental and natural areas. The university has
undergone about $100 million in new construction over the past decade.
Our department strives to maintain the kind of rich collegial
environment where faculty and students feel comfortable and welcome
to explore the various subdisciplines of modern biology.
Collaboration and cooperation are the rule, and a supportive
departmental atmosphere is the result.
Conway is a prosperous city of 45,000 with two private colleges in
addition to The University of Central Arkansas. Living here means
easy access to both a large urban center (Little Rock is 30 minutes
away via I-40) and pristine wild areas such as the Buffalo National
River, and the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains. The area affords
opportunities for canoeing, fishing, and hunting, and is also rich in
art, handicraft, and folk culture. For further information about the
department, university, and area, visit <http://www.uca.edu/biology/>.
To apply, submit curriculum vita, statements of teaching philosophy
and research plans, and the names of three references to: Dr. Paul
Hamilton, Department Chairperson, at the address above. Application
review will begin November 20th, 2002 and continue until the position
