Figure 1:

Biplot for Colombian and Brazilian populations of Rotylenchulus reniformis associated with banana and other species of the genus. The two first axes of a principal components analysis (PCA) are shown.

Figure 2:

Rotylenchulus reniformis. (A) immature female; (B) male; (C and D) anterior region of body; (E) posterior region of immature female; and (F) posterior region of male. V = vulva; s = spicule; dgo = dorsal esophageal gland orifice; an = anus; h = tail hyaline.

Figure 3:

Maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree of Rotylenchulus based on D2-D3 expansion segment of 28 S ribosomal DNA and 250 bootstraps. The outgroup (Hoplolaimus seinhorsti) is shown in gray font; the sequences that were obtained in this study appear in bold typeface. Values at the nodes represent the posterior probability. The scale represents the number of substitutions per site.

Figure 4:

Bayesian phylogenetic tree of Rotylenchulus based on D2-D3 expansion segment of 28 S ribosomal DNA. The phylogeny is a consensus tree from a posterior distribution of 1,600 trees that were inferred in MrBayes. The outgroup (Hoplolaimus seinhorsti) is shown in gray font; the sequences that were obtained in this study appear in bold typeface. Values at the nodes represent the posterior probability. The scale represents the number of substitutions per site.

Figure 5:

Maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree of Rotylenchulus based on mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) and 250 bootstraps. The outgroup (Hoplolaimus magnystilus) is shown in gray font; the sequences that were obtained in this study appear in bold typeface. Values at the nodes represent the posterior probability. The scale represents the number of substitutions per site.

Figure 6:

Bayesian phylogenetic tree of Rotylenchulus based on mitochondrial cytochrome oxydase subunit I (COI). The phylogeny is a consensus tree from a posterior distribution of 1,600 trees that were inferred in MrBayes. The outgroup (Hoplolaimus magnystilus) is shown in gray font; the sequences that were obtained in this study appear in bold typeface. Values at the nodes represent the posterior probability. The scale represents the number of substitutions per site.
