Figure 3:

Populations of H. multicinctus (HM), H. dihystera (HD), H. erythrinae (HE), and H. californicus (HC) from Colombia and Brazil can be assigned to its corresponding species based on morphometric data. The two first axes of a principal components analysis (PCA) are shown. HM1 to HM2 from Colombia and HM3 to HM4 from Brazil; HD1 to HD3 from Colombia; HE1 to HE3 from Colombia; and HC1 from Colombia and HC2 from Brazil.

Figure 5:

Maximum likelihood phylogeny of Helicotylenchus. The tree was estimated using the D2 to D3 expansion segment of 28S RNAr and 250 bootstraps under GTR + Γ model. The outgroup (Rotylenchus magnus) is shown in gray font; the sequences that were obtained in this study appear in bold typeface. Values at the nodes represent the bootstrap support. Were provided bootstrap support for nodes with values > 80. The scale represents the number of substitutions per site.

Figure 6:

Bayesian phylogeny of Helicotylenchus based on D2 to D3 expansion segment of 28S RNAr. The phylogeny is a consensus tree from a posterior distribution of 1,600 trees that were inferred under GTR + Γ model in MrBayes. The outgroup (Rotylenchus magnus) 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. Were provided posterior probabilities for nodes with values > 0.5. The scale represents the number of substitutions per site.
