The association between climatic scores and functional traits at the species level for terrestrial Phytophthora species. a Association between the optimum temperature for the species and the species climatic score. The R² and P-value (P) is based on a linear regression weighted by the proportion of total reads for each of the species. b Association between the climatic score and the asexual survival structures of terrestrial Phytophthora species detected at more than one location during the survey. The mean climatic score of species that form asexual structures was significantly higher than that of species that did not form structures (P = 0.02, Welch t-test). A climatic score with a value of 0 corresponds to the average temperature and precipitation values of all the sampling sites in the survey. In total, 21 Phytophthora species were included in this analysis: bra P. brassicae, cic P. cichorii, por P. porri, gal P. gallica, eur P. europaea, syr P. syringae, fra P. fragariae, plu P. plurivora, pse P. pseudosyringae, soj P. sojae, aln P. alni (species complex), uli P. uliginosa, san P. sansomeana, cam P. cambivora, ira P. iranica, pis P. pisi, dre P. drechsleri, fraf P. fragariaefolia, tri P. trifolii, cry P. cryptogea
