Primes

• Diversity
  • It separates uniform systems (all instances of the same kind) from varied systems (multiple kinds operating in parallel), a structural decomposition Hill (1973) formalized via his unified family of diversity numbers.

    Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract

    Abstract supports Hill's unified family of diversity measures (effective numbers of species); it does not describe a uniform-versus-varied decomposition.

    “A unified concept of diversity is presented, according to which there is a continuum of possible diversity measures.”

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
