Application of the dendrite analysis in the discussion on the biogeography of the Antarctic

Description
Summary:The method of construction and division of dendrites proposed by Flore k et al. (1951) was used for defining of the Antarctic biojjeographic areas. The affinity matrices of Kno x and Lowr y (1977) resulting from the analysis of the distribution of Antarctic Polychaeta and Amphipoda were taken as a basis for dendrite construction The results of the present analysis are compared with the conclusions of these authors and similarities and differences are discussed on the background of the hitherto published biogeographic divisions of Antarctica.
