Table 1. Measurements and calculated indices of species richness and diversity.
Children | Adults | All Participants | |
---|---|---|---|
Variants counted | 18 | 12 | 20 |
Variants estimated (Mao Tau) (95% CI) | 17 (11.9–22.1) | 9 (4.2–13.8) | 17 (11.8–22.2) |
Chao 2 ( 95% CI) | 19.3 (16.0–43.8) | 12.8 (10.6–31.6) | 20.9 (18.0–42.5) |
Simpson (95% CI)* | 7.5 (5.1–9.9) | 4.7 (3.4–5.9) | 6.7 (5.3–8.1) |
Shannon mean (95% CI) | 2.3 (2.0–2.5) | 1.8 (1.5–2.0) | 2.2 (2.0–2.4) |
Shannon evenness index | 0.8 | 0.72 | 0.73 |
Capture-recapture | 32 | 15 | 34 |
*EstimateS calculates the reciprocal form of Simpson's diversity index.
