2. Diversity Index and Domaince Distribution
Shannon-Weaver diversity index H’
′
∑
H =− pi ln pi
where pi is the proportion of the ith species in the total sample.
The dominance concentration index
∑
C= pi2
The dominance distribution
The arthropods were split into five guilds: phytophages,
parasitoids, predators, detritivores, and others. The dominance
distribution is the percentage of each subcommunity among the
total communities.
. . . . . .
3. Objectives
Is there any difference in H ′ ,C and Dominance distribution between
non-bt and bt rice?
. . . . . .

12. Conclusion
No significant difference in anthropod abandance and diversity
are found in short term period(3 years)
need more observations to know the long term effects.
