In this case, OTUs 1 and 6 and OTUs 3 and 5 are tied with a similarity value of 0.8.
The next most similar OTU pairings (1/6 and 3/5) have been clustered at their respective levels (0.8) in the same fashion, and each successive reduced matrix yields the appropriate branch level, shown on the similarity scale at the left side of the diagram.
Rather than grouping OTUs together on the basis of overall similarity, as in numerical taxonomy, the investigator using this method groups OTUs together on the basis of shared, derived characters--characters whose presence or absence in two or more OTUs is inferred to be the result of inheritance form their common ancestor.

 Otus guatemalae
There is an Otus found from at least central Panama (Canal Zone) south to the southern border of Ecuador (west slope) that has a very distinct vocalization (listen to Hardy et al.) from the rest of the guatemalae complex (includes guatemalae, vermiculatus, napensis, roraimae; note that guatemalae has priority).
Hekstra's (1982) centralis (holotype from Cerro Mali, Darien, Panama) appears to represent this distinctively vocal form, however, the question that begs to be asked but may not be answered from examination of the holotype, is whether the holotype unequivocally represents the Otus with the distinct vocalization and not guatemalae (includes vermiculatus).

 House of Bird Research - Asio Otus
An alternative hypothesis is presented here, in which heavy predation pressure by Eagle Owls (Bubo bubo) and Goshawks (Accipiter gentilis) on the breeding range in Fenno-Scandia and parts of these birds' wintering range in northern and western Europe is the primary cause of the differential in the observed pattern of winter distribution.
Food shortage in winter seems to be the main stimulus for migration among birds, and if there is not food enough for both sexes, the general pattern is for the dominant sex to remain on or near the breeding grounds and the subordinate sex to migrate (e.g.

 Flammulated Owl Home Page -- Questions   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Editor's note: As the sole Homo sapiens advisor for these owl home pages, I try to remain "hands-off" as much as possible and let the owls answer their own questions (although I naturally have to intervene in matters of grammar and spelling, in which all owls, quite frankly, are notoriously weak).
True, a case might be made for such a classification, but since Otus is not arguing the point here himself, his sudden invocation of the potentially controversial category strikes us as arbitrary, even dictatorial.
this means YOU!) that Otus flammeolus resides in the temperate mountainous and forested regions of British Columbia, the western United States, and central Mexico.

 Otus atricapillus etc.
I assume that these are the same three samples of Otus "usta" referred to by Heidrich et al.
However, there may be strong mate choice or other factors that may keep the song from diverging after separation, even after a great deal of time has elapsed and speciation has occurred.
I think this is clearly what goes on in oriole plumage patterns (based on work of Omland and Lanyon's work) and presumably could happen in groups of birds where song has a high genetic component.
