Euclidean distance is commonly involved in calculating functional diversity (FD), for example, in measures based on dendrogram branch lengths. We point out that this function is inappropriate in many ...

Clustering methods are widely used tools in many aspects of science, such as ecology, medicine, or even market research, that commonly deal with dendrogram-based analyses. In such analyses, for a ...

Here we report a ‘dendrogram’ (hierarchical tree-diagram) analysis that reveals that self-gravity plays a significant role over the full range of possible scales traced by 13CO observations in ...
