TABLE 2.
Summary of the number of clones analyzed, observed richness (OTUs), estimated OTU richness (ACE and Chao1), evenness, diversity indices (Shannon and Simpson), and estimated sample coverage of clone libraries
| Clone library | No. of clones | No. of OTUs | Shannon | Evennessa | Chao1b | Simpsonc | Coveraged (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HRFI-HF | 93 | 8 | 1.07 | 0.52 | 8.5 (8.03, 16.26) | 1.88 | 97.8 |
| LRFI-HF | 89 | 8 | 1.25 | 0.60 | 9 (8.07, 21.87) | 2.31 | 97.7 |
| HRFI-LF | 90 | 14 | 1.55 | 0.59 | 18.2 (14.78, 36.33) | 3 | 92.2 |
| LRFI-LF | 86 | 9 | 1.14 | 0.52 | 12 (9.39, 31.99) | 2.04 | 95.3 |
a
Calculation based on the formula by Pielou (61) (J′ = H′/H′max), where H′ is the Shannon diversity index and H′max is the logarithm of the number of species.
b
Values in parentheses are 95% confidence intervals.
c
Calculated as Simpson's reciprocal index (1/D).
d
Calculation based on the formula by Good (34) [C = 1 − (n/N)], where n is the number of unique clones and N is the total number of clones.
