This page is inconsistent with Simpson's diversity index, but this one is correct. Perhaps the other page should be deleted/merged? 128.42.145.156 (talk) 06:11, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Diversity of population" should be "diversity of community" since a population refers to one species - therefore, a measure of species richness cannot be applied to a population and instead must be applied to a community of species. 82.19.72.160 (talk) 17:08, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
