a

Numbers of A. flavus L strain; lineage IB and IC isolates included in LD analysis for Figure 3 are shown in parentheses. Sample sequences based on six genomic loci (aflE/aflM, aflM/aflN, aflN/aflG, aflG/aflL, aflL/aflI, aflI/aflO) in A. flavus L, S and A. minisclerotigenes, and seven loci (aflB/aflR, aflS/aflH, aflH/aflJ, aflJ/aflE, aflE/aflM, aflG/aflL, aflK/aflV) in A. parasiticus.

b

Average pairwise differences between nucleotides across multiple cluster loci per site.

c

Watterson's estimator of the population-scaled mutation rate per site.

d

Tajima's D statistic is a measure of departure from neutrality.

e

Fu and Li D* statistic is a measure of the departure of the frequency spectrum from neutral expectations.

f

Number of segregating sites across multiple concatenated cluster loci.

g

Minimum number of recombination events across multiple concatenated cluster loci using RecMin.

h

Population recombination rate estimate per base pair.

i

Population mean recombination rate per site. First value is mean ρ and the numbers in parentheses are the lower and upper 95% confidence intervals, respectively.

j

Population sample data are fully compatible and recombination cannot be determined.
