Biological diversity, also known as biodiversity, is an important criterion for
measuring the value of an ecosystem. As biodiversity is closely related to human
welfare and quality of life, many efforts to restore and maintain the
biodiversity of species have been made by government agencies and
non-governmental organizations, thereby drawing a substantial amount of
international attention. In the fields of biological research, biodiversity is
widely measured using traditional statistical indices such as the Shannon-Wiener
index, species richness, evenness, and relative dominance of species. However,
some biologists and ecologists have difficulty using these indices because they
require advanced mathematical knowledge and computational techniques. Therefore,
we developed VBioindex, a user-friendly program that is capable of measuring the
Shannon-Wiener index, species richness, evenness, and relative dominance.
VBioindex serves as an easy to use interface and visually represents the results
in the form of a simple chart and in addition, VBioindex offers functions for
long-term investigations of datasets using time-series analyses.
