Diversity Calculator 4.5 for MacOS X

Calculates ten diversity measures from spreadsheet data. 

Diversity calculator looks through each sample (row) of a spreadsheet and counts the species (columns) with non-zero entries. Ten measures of diversity are calculated: raw species present, ratio of species present to total, Simpson index and normalized Shannon-Wiener index, original Shannon-Wiener index, Margalef index, McIntosh index, Beerbower and Jordan index, Yule index, Abundance/Richness ratio, plus total abundance of all columns.  For each sample (spreadsheet row) the result is: Richness Richness ratio Simpson index normalized Shannon-Wiener index original Shannon-Wiener index Margalef index McIntosh index Beerbower & Jordan index Yule index Abundance/Richness ratio Total abundance   Features: Calculates 10 diversity measures and total abundance.  Save results as ratio (0 to 1), or as percent (0-100).  Opens very large data sets. Reads data directly from ASCII text spreadsheets.  Saves data as ASCII text files (Mac,Windows, Unix, DOS).    Instructions: Open a tab-delimited TEXT spreadsheet, samples (rows) by species (columns). Select a name and folder for the diversity results. The results are saved as an Excel TEXT file. NOTE: The first column in the spreadsheet must contain sample labels (if not, insert a blank column before continuing). The first row must contain column labels (if not, insert a blank row before continuing).
