Comparison of measures of crowding, group size, and diversity
Ecosphere, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2017., 2017 Abstract In ecology, diversity is often measured as the mean rarity of species in a community. In behavioral sciences and parasitology, mean crowding is the size of the group to which a typical individual belongs. In this paper, focusing mostly on the mathematical aspect, we demonstrate that diversity and crowding are closely related notions.
