Evenness refers to the relative abundance of different species within a community, indicating how evenly individuals are distributed among those species. It provides insights into the biodiversity and ecological health of an ecosystem, as higher evenness suggests a more balanced ecosystem with less dominance by any one species. Understanding evenness is crucial when using invertebrates as bioindicators to assess environmental conditions and biodiversity.
