Functional group classification using consensus clustering
Fig 5
Centroids of 42 functional groups.
Mean values were calculated for each group across their species after normalizing the original dataset for each trait. The colour gradient represents these normalized values and is consistent across all traits, with values clipped at 3 standard deviations from the mean to enhance visualization contrast. A dendrogram, constructed using the Ward-linkage method, is included to illustrate the relative consensus distances among the groups.
