Plant specimens' iDV inferred from distances matrices obtained with four different transformation methods are compared; gaps were treated as missing data and a minimum number of three associates per host was applied. Affiliation to plant species as well as an evolutionary interpretation of particularly high iDV (i.e. low treelikeness) observed is indicated.
