Mechanisms of Maintenance of Species Diversity
, 2000▪ Abstract The focus of most ideas on diversity maintenance is species coexistence, which may be stable or unstable. Stable coexistence can be quantified by the long-term rates at which community members recover from low density.

A distance-based framework for measuring functional diversity from multiple traits.
Ecology, 2010A new framework for measuring functional diversity (FD) from multiple traits has recently been proposed. This framework was mostly limited to quantitative traits without missing values and to situations in which there are more species than traits ...

Is "Diversity" Diverse Enough?
Asian American Law Journal, 2014Having survived the latest assault against it in Fisher v. University of Texas, the diversity rationale for affirmative action continues to rule the day in admissions offices across American universities, including law schools. Yet, there is a striking degree of uniformity about what actually constitutes "diversity"; law schools appear to strive for ...

Diversity and Evenness: A Unifying Notation and Its Consequences
, 1973Three commonly used measures of diversity, Simpson's index, Shannon's entropy, and the total number of species, are related to Renyi's definition of a generalized entropy.

Diversity und Managing Diversity
2002„Economic, social, political, and technological changes have converged and emerged to change the contours of the world of work, leaving us with new markets, new corporate institutions to serve those markets, and new jobs to produce new goods for the world’s new consumers“1 .

Entropies such as the Shannon–Wiener and Gini–Simpson indices are not themselves diversities. Conversion of these to effective number of species is the key to a unified and intuitive interpretation of diversity.

The notion of diversity is an issue that is of relevance in several contexts. For example, the biodiversity of a given ecological environment and the diversity of the options available to a decision maker have attracted some attention in recent research.

User cooperation diversity. Part I. System description
IEEE Transactions on Communications, 2003Mobile users' data rate and quality of service are limited by the fact that, within the duration of any given call, they experience severe variations in signal attenuation, thereby necessitating the use of some type of diversity.

ECOLOGY There is huge geographical variation, especially between polar and equatorial regions, in the numbers of terrestrial plant and animal species. Ecologists have wrestled with a variety of competing hypotheses—energy availability, habitat heterogeneity, area, and geometric constraints being the major classes—to explain these patterns.
