Figure legends
Figure 1. Adult of Gonipterus platensis collected by
VC-P and CMP in the city of Quito. Photo by VC-P with an Olympus Tough
TG6 digital camera.
Figure 2. Maximum likelihood tree of a fragment of the COI gene
of species of the Gonipterus scutellatus complex. Numbers at the
nodes indicate support values from the SH-like approximate likelihood
ratio test (SH-aLRT), the Bayesian-like transformation of aLRT (aBayes
test), and the ultrafast bootstrap method. Terminal labels indicate the
GenBank accessions, followed by sample codes. Clade classification
follows Mapondera et al. (2012). Values of nucleotide (π) and haplotype
(H ) diversity for each of the six species examined are indicated
below the species names.
Figure 3. Predicted distribution of Gonipterus platensisin its introduced range of South America. The inset shows a focus on
Ecuador. Each model was calibrated to the local environmental conditions
of the introduced range. Warmer colors of predicted distribution (i.e.,
red) indicate higher environmental suitability. Niche model predictions
including occurrences are included in the Appendix, Fig. A1.
Figure 4. Boxplots showing the distribution for environmental
features characterizing the introduced ranges of Gonipterus
platensis . Brown = Ecuador and teal = South America. Median: heavy
line; 25% and 75% quartiles: edges of box; 5% and 95% quartiles:
whiskers; observed values included as points to help visualize density.
