List of equations used for analyzing biodiversity indices of Chunati Wildlife Sanctuary

Sl No	Biodiversity indices	Formulas	References
1	Species diversity index (S_Di)	SDi = S/N	Odum (1971)
2	Shannon–Wiener's diversity index (H)	H = − $\sum_{i = 0}^{n} P i$ ln Pi	Michael (1990)
3	Shannon's maximum richness index (H_max)	Hmax = Ln(S)	Kent and Coker (1992)
4	Margalef's species richness index (R)	R = (S-1)/Ln(N)	Margalef (1958)
5	Simpson's diversity index (D)	$D = \sum_{i = 1}^{n} p i^{2}$	Magurran (1988)
6	Dominance of Simpson's index (D')	D' = 1-D	Magurran (1988)
7	Species (Pielou's) evenness index (E)	E = $\frac{H}{Ln (S)}$	Pielou (1966)

Note(s): H= Shannon–Wiener's diversity index; N = total no. of individuals of all the species; P_i = number of individuals of ith species/total number of individuals; S = total number of species; n is the number of individuals of each species
