Table 1. Estimated plant richness in the faecal samples of E. spelaea of which the number of observed species is 55, the number of faecal sample is 10 and the total number of incidences is 185.
| Species richness model | Estimate | Standard error | Lower limit of 95% confidence interval | Upper limit of 95% confidence interval |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Homogenous modela | 60.324 | 2.996 | 56.904 | 69.882 |
| Chao2b | 66.604 | 7.040 | 58.873 | 89.766 |
| Chao2-bcc | 65.260 | 6.342 | 58.365 | 86.286 |
| iChao2d | 68.961 | 4.356 | 62.682 | 80.372 |
Notes:
This model assumes that all species have same incidence of detection probabilities.
This approach uses the frequencies of uniques and duplicates to estimate the number of undetected species.
A bias-corrected form for the Chao2 estimator.
Improved Chao2 estimator.
