The Berger–Parker index as an effective tool for monitoring the biodiversity of disturbed soils: a case study on Mediterranean oribatid (Acari: Oribatida) assemblages

Recent data on oribatid mites (Acari: Oribatida) indicates that Mediterranean soil
communities tend to show uneven patterns of species abundance distribution (SAD) that are
well fitted by a simple model such as the geometric series. In the case of linear distributions,
the fraction of total sampled individuals that is contributed by the most abundant species,
known as the Berger–Parker index, synthetically describes the SAD of disturbed
communities. This study assessed the bioindicator potential of the Berger–Parker index by …
