Figure 1

Bayesian phylogenetic tree (A) and minimum spanning network (B) of mtDNA haplotypes from S. invicta. Both the Bayesian phylogenetic tree and minimum spanning network of mtDNA haplotypes from S. invicta reprinted from Ahrens et al. [53]. Haplotypes associated with the three Wolbachia variants in S. invicta are indicated by coloured bars/circles. For each mtDNA haplotype, the coloured areas of bars/circles are proportional to the number of Wolbachia-infected individuals, also indicated by the values in parentheses. The five haplotype clades in the Bayesian tree harbouring Wolbachia infected individuals are linked to their corresponding haplotype clusters by Roman numerals I-V. Purported invasion/horizontal transmission events of Wolbachia into S. invicta under scenarios 1 and 2 are indicated by the grey and black coloured bars, respectively, on the Bayesian tree. Also indicated is the evolutionary transition of variant wSinvictaA to variant wSrichteriA (black box to blue box). See text for more details.
