The both dendrograms as FT-IR as XRD, separating the two drugs in different groups, because of their chemical characteristics.
The dendrograms based on two coefficients reveal some differences useful in the interpretation of the faunal similarities of separate units.
Phenetic analysis (cluster and principal components) is commonly used as a tool to better understand the trends of morphological variations, by indicating relationships among taxa inform of dendrograms or cladograms [32].
However, since the main part of genome consisted of non-coding parts, another reason for the lack of correlation between the two dendrograms was distribution of selected RAPD primers at all levels of genomes Mc (Clean et al., 2009).
In addition, the single linkage method tends to construct clusters of unbalanced sizes and produces highly skewed dendrograms. Furthermore, it has limitations on the detection of clusters that are not well separated.
Dendrograms, each for ants and other arthropods, were constructed using group-average linkage method using Bray-Curtis similarities.
The fusion sequence of groupings, as the method used, was graphically represented by dendrograms in which the number of groups used was determined by the adjusted Rand index (ARI), with eight groups based on the Mahalanobis distance.
