Effects of straw amendment and moisture on microbial communities in Chinese fluvo-aquic soil (2014, methodology): “We assessed eukaryotic alpha diversity using four metrics: the phylogenetic diversity (PD) index (Faith 1992), the Shannon index (Hill et al. 2003), the Chao1 index (Chao and Bunge 2002), and the observed OTU richness.”
Strong elevational trends in soil bacterial community composition on Mt. Halla, South Korea (2014, methodology): “We used Shannon index as it is influenced by both richness and evenness and is more sensitive to changes in abundance of the rare groups (Hill et al., 2003); and Faith’s PD as it describes the evolutionary history of each bacterial community.”
Variation in forest soil fungal diversity along a latitudinal gradient (2013, methodology): “Furthermore, we used the Shannon index to estimate phylotype diversity, as recommended by Hill et al. (2003).”
Microbial macroecology: highly structured prokaryotic soil assemblages in a tropical deciduous forest (2005, background): “Recently, several molecular techniques have been developed to study phylogenetic relationships and diversity in microorganisms (Liu et al., 1997; Tiedje et al., 1999; Ranjard et al., 2000; Norris et al., 2002; Hill et al., 2003).”
The Effect of Soil Texture on Richness and Diversity of Bacterial Communities (2011, background): “The Shannon index (H′) is a measure of diversity that combines information about richness and evenness and ranges between 0 and log(S); its value increases with the number of individuals sampled (Hill et al., 2003).”
Dominant bacteria in soils of Marble Point and Wright Valley, Victoria Land, Antarctica (2006, background): “69; Table 4) can lead to underestimates of the diversity of the soil bacterial communities (Hill et al., 2003).”
Biogeography in the air: fungal diversity over land and oceans (2011, neutral): “…number of samples in which each species had been detected, are similar to the values commonly obtained for fungi in soil and on plants as well as for bacteria in soil (Maria et al., 2002; Hill et al., 2003; Richard et al., 2004; Satish et al., 2007; Fr ¨ ohlich-Nowoisky et al., 2009) (Table S1).”
Estimating prokaryotic diversity: When are 16S rDNA libraries large enough? (2004, background): “Richness estimators underestimate phylotype richness in small libraries (e.g., Hughes et al 2001; Hill et al. 2003; Stach et al. 2003; and others), and consequently have limited usefulness until the library size is large enough to yield a stable estimate.”
Biodiversity: Function and Assessment in Agricultural Areas: A Review (2005, background): “These different methods show that there are many diversity measures, but their suitability for use in different domains (soil microflora, arthropods, plants and landscape elements) is not always clear [40, 54, 148].”
Microbial Biodiversity in Groundwater Ecosystems (2009, background): “water microorganisms (e.g. Shannon-Wiener index; see Martin, 2002; Bohannan & Hughes, 2003; Hill et al., 2003) biodiversity in this review refers”
