Biogeographic and phylogenetic evidence supporting horizontal transfers of SPACE INVADERS and OposCharlie1 transposons on multiple continents. A. Map showing the likely geographic distribution of the taxa that contain these elements at the time of the transfers (see Methods). B., C. Maximum-likelihood phylogenies of SPIN and OC1 consensus sequences, respectively; bootstrap values above 70 are shown. D. Alignment of representatives autonomous and non-autonomous OC1 consensus sequences from species showing portions of the highly conserved 5’ and 3’ termini (purple) and the 5’ subterminal region in Old World (red) and New World (blue) species. All nucleotide positions are with reference to the bushbaby consensus (Supplementary Dataset S1).
