Hierarchical structure of genetic distances: Effects of matrix size, spatial distribution and correlation structure among gene frequencies

Geographic structure of genetic distances among local populations within species, based on allozyme data, has usually been evaluated by estimating genetic distances clustered with hierarchical algorithms, such as the unweighted pair-group method by arithmetic averages (UPGMA). The distortion produce...
