Cluster analysis of cetacean stranding and sighting records. Diagram of cetaceans reported from the north-eastern (inverted triangle) and north coast of Brazil (triangle) and southern Caribbean (square), reported in seven articles and the present study. The two distinct groups formed (Group 1 and 2) are indicated. A similarity profile (SIMPROF) permutation test highlights dashed clusters that show significant internal structure. Shaded cells indicate occurrence of species.
