Question

Description acceptable. Palmer, et. al. proposed that this quantity is positively correlated to the spectral variability in the reflectance of vegetated surfaces. This quantity equals the sum of theta over theta plus n, where n ranges from 0 to J minus 1, in a non-evolutionary unified theory developed by Stephen Hubbell. This quantity is plotted against sampling effort in the collector’s (-5[1])curve. It’s not temperature, but Hutchinson and MacArthur found that this quantity tends to be largest for small body sizes. This quantity is measured in OTUs when computing it from (*) rarefaction curves. This quantity equals the Hill number of order 0. This quantity is often assumed to follow a power-law with habitat area. This quantity is often contrasted with evenness and dominance. (10[1])For 10 points, name this simplest measure of biodiversity (10[1])that does not take into (10[1])account (10[1])the relative abundance of organisms. (10[1])■END■

ANSWER: species richness [or descriptions of the number of species; accept the amount of speciation; prompt on biodiversity until mentioned; prompt on number; prompt on species–area curve]
