4.1.5 Species diversity<br />
Looking at the diversity index over the four sites (shown in Figure 18i) Chotiari<br />
Reservoir holds the highest level of diversity of mammals followed by Keti<br />
Bunder. Given the variety of habitats at Chotiari Reservoir (desert, wetland and<br />
forest) it is not surprising that this site holds the highest index. Similarly, Keti<br />
Bunder comprises of both terrestrial and marine habitats which results in a high<br />
diversity index despite apparent environmental degradation both inland and in the<br />
creeks. Even with some variance in diversity, the evenness of diversity across the<br />
sites is quite regular, except for Chotiari Reservoir. These indexes do not take<br />
into account the diversity across seasons, something that is discussed further on<br />
in this chapter.<br />
