Jitter plot showing maximum sequence dissimilarity between isolates of the same Aspergillus species whose species limits have been delimited using methods based on a multispecies coalescent model. Only species represented by isolates from at least three countries were included to ensure relevant sampling and thus representative intraspecific genetic variability. In total, 34 species were included that were classified outside section Nigri. The data from benA, CaM and RPB2 were collected from all 34 species, while less common markers (minichromosome maintenance factor 7 - Mcm7, ribosome biogenesis protein - Tsr1 and actin - Act) were available for only a limited number of species. Species belonging to the series Nigri are designated with coloured circles. The basic data used for construction of the jitter plot are listed in the Supplementary Table S6.
