PART 2: Intrоductiоn tо Diversity Indices (Meаsuring Diversity)   Using the tаble, cаlculate the total abundance in the community and the Pi value for each species. Next, calculate the natural log of Pi for each species (ln(Pi)) and then multiply the two columns to calculate Pi * ln(Pi). Limit your answer to three decimal places, but use several for the calculations for accuracy. The Wildebeest has been given as an example for you.  Create your own table by clicking "Insert" and "Table" (You can also copy and paste the empty table and edit it). You are allowed to use the scientific calculator provided by Honorlock to solve the mathematical problems.  Pi = species abundance/total abundance in the community ln = natural log Species Species Abundance Pi  ln(Pi)  Pi * ln(Pi) Wildebeest 2 (2/75=0.0266667) 0.027 ln(0.0266667)=-3.624339683 -3.624 0.0266667*-3.624339683 -0.097 Elephant 3                                                 Zebra 5                                                 Hippo 1                                                 Impala 6                                                 Lion 3                                                 Baboon 17                                                 Warbler 22                                                 Crane 16                                                 Total abundance in the community   Start here                                                   H
