Other Measures of Diversity

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:

    Away with the cant of “Measures, not men!”Mthe idle supposition that it is the harness and not the horses that draw the chariot along. No, Sir, if the comparison must be made, if the distinction must be taken, men are everything, measures comparatively nothing.
    George Canning (1770–1827)

    We call the intention good which is right in itself, but the action is good, not because it contains within it some good, but because it issues from a good intention. The same act may be done by the same man at different times. According to the diversity of his intention, however, this act may be at one time good, at another bad.
    Peter Abelard (1079–1142)
