@plektix@mathstodon.xyz For the entropy/diversity indices, yes, that's a nice way to put it (but the evenness denominators depend only on non-zero-sized branches). I hope we convey that this is just a tweak of prior work by you and others. Our more original contribution is in defining evenness indices (including tree balance indices) that account for branch lengths and node sizes and are consistent with the entropy/diversity indices.

    @robjohnnoble@ecoevo.social ah, that makes sense. I haven't read all the way to the end yet, but I like the way you are putting things together!
