Simpson's Diversity Index is a measure of diversity. In ecology, it is often used to quantify the biodiversity of a habitat. It takes into account the number of species present, as well as the abundance of each species. . F.P. Appio. March 27, 2015. Species Richness and Evenness. High richness. (high. nr of species).
