Figure S1:
Maximum likelihood tree of ITS1 sequences from P. smoliki n. sp. and closely related species. Bootstrap values in red.

Figure 9:
Box and whisker plots of the distribution of numbers of Pratylenchus smoliki n. sp. recovered from roots of six eight-week old corn hybrids. The lower bound of the box indicates the first quartile, the central line is the median, and the upper bound is the third quartile. The lower and upper whiskers represent minimum and maximum values. Outliers that are more than 1.5 times the interquartile range (third quartile minus first quartile) from the lower or upper quartile, respectively, are indicated with dots. The mean is indicated by the symbol “×”.

Figure 10:
Box and whisker plots of the distribution of numbers of Pratylenchus smoliki n. sp. recovered from roots of four eight-week old agronomic crop plants. The lower bound of the box indicates the first quartile, the central line is the median, and the upper bound is the third quartile. The lower and upper whiskers represent minimum and maximum values. Outliers that are more than 1.5 times the interquartile range (third quartile minus first quartile) from the lower or upper quartile, respectively, are indicated with dots. The mean is indicated by the symbol “×”.

Figure 11:
Box and whisker plots of the distribution of numbers of Pratylenchus smoliki n. sp. recovered from roots of 11 eight-week old cover crops. The lower bound of the box indicates the first quartile, the central line is the median, and the upper bound is the third quartile. The lower and upper whiskers represent minimum and maximum values. Outliers that are more than 1.5 times the interquartile range (third quartile minus first quartile) from the lower or upper quartile, respectively, are indicated with dots. The mean is indicated by the symbol “×”.
