PLA, Laura. Biodiversity: Inference about richness and Shannon index. INCI [online]. 2006, vol.31, n.8, pp.583-590. ISSN 0378-1844.

Point estimators and confidence intervals for richness and Shannon index are described and applied to a vegetation example and a bird inventory survey. Results of various techniques are compared based on original simulation performance and theoretical formulation conditions. A guide to proceed with emphasis on small real data set and bootstrap estimation is provided, including available software use orientation.
