other measures... transfer entropy, Tsallis entropy..  Compare results obtained in former papers.I.e Autopoiesis.  ".Rao`s quadratic entropy index (function dbFD from package FD in R; also check ade4) with presence-absence data, that it is simply the mean distance between the occurring species. (Inpect the scaling by the possible maximum, because it coudlbe meaningless for abundance data).   ..quadratic diversity can be interpreted as the expected conflict among the species of a given assemblage. From this unusual interpretation, it naturally follows that Rao's Q can be related to the Shannon entropy through a generalized version of the Tsallis parametric entropy."     http://www.uoguelph.ca/~manand/Papers/RicottaEt06.pdf: Ricota (**):  "Shannon’s entropy, fail to adequately capture the structural complexity of an ecological community. The contributions of spatial complexity to community structure are however quantifiable if we consider, for example, the degree of spatial co-occurrence  between species. The larger and more intricate these correlations, the more structurally  complex the community. We suggest that Juhasz-Nagy information-theoretical functions ´
