Multiple Choice

Please use the following information to answer the question(s) below.
The effect of invasive species on the diversity of communities can be large, and protecting native communities from the invasion of non-native species is often a priority for conservation. You conduct an experiment to study how the impact that invasive plant species have on the diversity of plant communities varies as a function of distance from the source of the invasive species. In this experiment, you create five communities with equal numbers of three native plant species at the beginning. Each of these communities is located at increasing distances from a large patch of an invasive species. You and your research assistant return 1 year later to measure the relative abundance of each species. The results are shown in the table.
Relative Abundance
-How would you calculate the final Shannon diversity index for each community?

• A) H = −(pinvasive + pA + pB + p
• B) H = −(pinvasive ln pinvasive + pA ln pA + pB ln pB + pC ln p
• C) H = ln pinvasive + ln pA + ln pB + ln pC
• D) H = pinvasive ln pinvasive + pA ln pA + pB ln pB + pC ln pC
