Abstract
Diversity studies make a central theme of study of biodiversity. Several measures of diversity have been proposed by different authors, but Shannon's, Simpson's and Brillouin's indices are the most widely used ones. At the same time, these are the least understood indices. In the present review, some of the commonly used diversity indices have been discussed with specific examples. Special emphasis has been laid to explain the derivation of diversity indices from basic concepts.
