Alternatively, other types of diversity may be assessed for organisms:
- taxonomic diversity
- ecological diversity
- morphological diversity
- Degeneracy
There are broad correlations between different types of diversity. For example, there is a close link between vertebrate taxonomic and ecological diversity.

Famous quotes containing the words measures and/or diversity:
“I was surprised by Joe’s asking me how far it was to the Moosehorn. He was pretty well acquainted with this stream, but he had noticed that I was curious about distances, and had several maps. He and Indians generally, with whom I have talked, are not able to describe dimensions or distances in our measures with any accuracy. He could tell, perhaps, at what time we should arrive, but not how far it was.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“What we have to do ... is to find a way to celebrate our diversity and debate our differences without fracturing our communities.”
—Hillary Rodham Clinton (b. 1947)
