BEQI2: Benthic Ecosystem Quality Index 2

Tool for analysing benthos data. It estimates several quality indices like the total abundance of species, species richness, Margalef's d, AZTI Marine Biotic Index (AMBI), and the BEQI-2 index. Furthermore, additional (optional) features are provided that enhance data preprocessing: (1) genus to species conversion, i.e.,taxa counts at the taxonomic genus level can optionally be converted to the species level and (2) pooling: small samples are combined to bigger samples with a standardized size to (a) meet the data requirements of the AMBI, (b) generate comparable species richness values and (c) give a higher benthos signal to noise ratio.
