👉 Species math, also known as species abundance or species richness in ecological contexts, is a statistical approach used to quantify and analyze the diversity of species within a given ecosystem or sample. It involves calculating metrics such as species richness (the total number of different species present), species evenness (how evenly distributed the individuals are among the species), and sometimes species diversity indices like the Shannon-Wiener index or Simpson's index, which account for both richness and evenness. These metrics help ecologists understand the complexity and health of ecosystems, track changes over time, and inform conservation efforts by providing insights into biodiversity levels and potential threats to species.
