Interpreting ecological diversity indices applied to terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism data: insights from simulated microbial communities

Ecological diversity indices are frequently applied to molecular profiling methods, such as terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP), in order to compare diversity among microbial communities. We performed simulations to determine whether diversity indices calculated from T-RFLP pr...
