x	Vector of dimension S (number of species) with the number of individuals observed in each species. NA values are allowed.
ind	Index to be computed. The default value is "shannon". Other possible values are: "simpson_E", "simpson_D", "menhinick", "margalef", "evenness", "equitability" and "dominance".
B	Number of bootstrap samples. The default is 1000.
cl	Confidence level. A value between 0 and 1. The default is 0.95.

Value

• s: Boostrap standard error.

• ci: Confidence interval.
