Abstract
The use of intrinsic diversity profiles is recommended for ranking biological populations according to their diversity. The profiles are estimated on the basis of independent replications of a suitable sampling design. Asymptotically conservative joint confidence bands are constructed by the Richmond method, while equivalence hypotheses of couples of profiles are assessed against dominance or crossing alternatives by a multiple comparison test. The proposed procedures are applied for obtaining a partial diversity ordering for the avian populations settled in some selected parks in the north of Italy.
