Sentence examples for richness estimate from inspiring English sources

Thus, multiple counting sessions (MCS) that allow using robust analyses (e.g. unbiased Chao richness estimate) are available.

The Fisher's alpha diversity index was used because species richness per se usually increases with increasing number of individuals, whereas the Fisher's alpha diversity index is a robust species richness estimate that is not influenced by biases in the number of individuals (Maurer and McGill [2011]).

The experiments revealed a hitherto unseen breadth of rare members in the community and increased the species richness estimate to be on the order of 30,000 and 3,000 per liter of seawater for bacteria and archaea, respectively.

This was not the case for the universal primer set, suggesting that we have sequenced a significant number of clones from this library in order to more accurately calculate this Chao1 richness estimate with 95% CI (Figure S7).

For each soil attribute and each richness estimate at 3 and 20% genetic distance, one-way analysis of variance and Tukey pair-wise comparisons were used to determine the minimum significant difference (P<0.05) between management types by employing STATISTICA 8.0 (StatSoft, Inc., Tulsa, USA).

The Chao richness estimate was calculated using Mothur software (for more details, see http://www.mothur.org/wiki/Chao).

In contrast to rarefaction, coverage-based non-parametric richness estimators estimate overall species richness and compare alpha diversity of communities provided they reach an asymptote [16].

Figure 4 shows the relationships between species richness estimated by Chao1, rarefaction, and percentage of sequence differences used for the estimation.

We developed a composite sampling technique to enhance the confidence of abundance and species richness estimates.

Species abundance and species richness estimates of adult odonates were performed on sunny days during summer and winter.

Moreover, the WBMd96h samples had generally higher Ace and Chao1 richness estimates than the WB96h samples (Table 1).
