During a sample from a rocky hillside lizard observation grid, the table includes organism counts and a row for plant fragments that are debris, not organisms. The organism counts are species L = 19; species M = 4; species N = 5; and species O = 25; plant fragments = 21. Which calculation correctly excludes the debris and uses total organism abundance for Simpson’s Diversity Index?
