How to calculate equtability by simson index

Equitability (ED) can be calculated by taking Simpson's index (D) and expressing it as a proportion of the maximum value D could assume if individuals in the community were completely evenly distributed (Dmax, which equals S-- as in a case where there was one individual per species).

Hope this helped you.Have a nice day dear ❤️..

this protocol describes a detailed procedure for intracellular flow cytometry staining.

tsd is temerature dependent sex determination.

tsd: it is a type of environmental sex determination in which the temperature experienced during embryonic/ larval development (ambient temperature for development) determine the sex of the offspring.

crocodile displays the tsd where the ambient temperature of the developing egg determines the individual's sex. for example in the american alligator's eggs, incubation at 33 ºc produces mostly males, while incubation at 30 ºc produces mostly females. so if the american alligator's egg will get the ambient temperature (33 degree celcius)during embryonic development from egg, the offspring will be male and same for the female sex determination.
