m = sample size as number of individuals; order = Hill number with 0 = species richness; 1 = Shannon diversity, 2 = Simpson diversity; qD = the estimated diversity for a given sample size and order; SC = the estimated sample coverage; qD.LCL, qD.UCL = the lower and upper confidence level for the estimated diversity at the default value of 0.95; SC.LCL, SC.UCL= the lower and upper confidence level for the estimated sample coverage with a default value of 0.95.
