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."
