^a"Global inner recombination" denotes recombination between ancestors of sequences in alignment; no significant support was found for recombination events involving an ancestor outside the alignment or events obscured by subsequent mutations (i.e., "Global outer fragments").
^b Sim. P value, simulated P value. P values indicating statistically significant (P < 0.05) evidence for recombination events are marked with asterisks.
^c Number of segments of alignment sufficiently similar to imply recombination.
^d Group of fragments linked to the same 5' and/or 3' breakpoints were classified as a single recombination event (as described by Nightingale et al., 2005).
^e "Multiple" refers to global inner recombination events that involved significant fragments between and within lineages.
