  1. Eight data sets were used. For the fungi, "A" trees contain one strain per smut species and per host (see Fig. 3) and "B" trees a single representative per smut species (see Fig. 4), and two possible topologies were used, "1" and "2", depending on the position of MvSa. For the plants, poorly supported nodes were resolved in order to maximize the congruence with the fungal trees in the "Max" trees and minimize it in the "Min" trees, and the "T" trees contain only host species on which fungal species are well established (i.e. ignoring the opportunistic infections). See also Figs. 3 and 4 for the correspondence between host and parasite phylogenies for the least congruent combinations.
