Figure 3. Cluster analysis (Sorensen dissimilarity coefficient) of the composition of Kielmeyera in Atlantic Forest, on a grid of 0.5° × 0.5° cells. Colours in the dendogram correspond to those on the map (black lines correspond to white cells) and node labels correspond to the distance (dissimilarity) between clusters. The Venn diagram shows the number of species in the states of Bahia (BA), Espírito Santo (ES) and Rio de Janeiro (RJ). On the map, black lines indicate states and grey lines indicate river basins (in different colours only to favour visualization).
