Question

How can marine scientists use information discovered through rarefaction? Give two examples.

Answer 1

It would allow them to examine and see the similarities and differences of the species richness data among sets with different sample. Moreover, it is not just for measuring the variety and diversity of the species, but at the same time of knowing and understanding diversity at advanced taxonomic stages. Generally, the number of species is tested to foresee the number of kinds of species in a specific community. It is also used to analyze species diversity of newly examined ecosystems, which includes microbiomes of humans, along with applied studies in community ecology, for instance understanding the impacts of pollution on communities as well as other management applications.
