For a quantitative biogeographical regionalization, the choice of an appropriate dissimilarity index to measure pairwise distances is crucial. Several different metrics have been used, but there is no specific study to test the impact of metric choice on biogeographical regionalization. We herein applied a hierarchical cluster analysis on the mean nearest taxon distance (MNTD) and the phylogenetic turnover component of the Sørensen dissimilarity index (pβ<sub>sim</sub>) pairwise distances to gen ...[more]
