Community 2 has the highest species diversity as it has the highest number of species (10) and the even distribution of individuals among each species. Community 1 has lower diversity due to having fewer species (5) and a skewed distribution of individuals among each species. Community 3 has higher diversity than Community 1, but not as much as Community 2, due to having a higher number of species (8) but with a more uneven distribution of individuals among each species. Community 4 has the lowest diversity with only 3 species present.
