Figure 2. Accumulation species curves.
Observed species vs estimated species (A, C, E, G, I, K) and Shannon diversity index values (H′) (B, D, F, H, J, L), obtained from the Bootstrap estimator. A Chi-square goodness-of-fit test was used to compare the observed richness against estimated richness (X2, p = 0.05, 95% confidence). The Spearman correlation coefficent (rs) (p = 0.05, 95% confidence) was used to correlate the sampling effort (area in m2) and Shannon diversity index values (H′). The grey horizontal line represents the total number of species observed in each site.
