When to cluster phenotypic data? A simulation-based framework to guide decisions in agrobiodiversity research

2026-01-09

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> Phenotypic clustering is a cornerstone of population structure analysis in agrobiodiversity research, especially for neglected and underutilized species (NUS) where genomic data are scarce. However, there is currently no formal method to determine whether a given dataset contains sufficient biological signal to justify clustering, leading to potential overinterpretation of spurious pa...
