[R-sig-eco] Rarefied species richness as a diversity index

[Ansley Silva]

Hello,

I have a question about the rarefy function in the vegan package.  I have
taken the output values from the rarefy function and used them as a
response variable in a regression model.  Call I call this a diversity
index?  Why or why not?

Thanks very much,
