Figure 2: Elevated rates of molecular evolution are genome-wide.

Genetic distance (proportion of segregating sites) of each ingroup species from P. gracilis in 100 kb sliding windows across the largest nine linkage groups (LG). Curves were smoothed with the R function lowess. The breaks in lines within linkage groups show the ends of scaffolds. It is noteworthy that the mutualists (green) tend to have greater genetic distance from P. gracilis when compared with the most closely related generalists (orange). Line textures show specific species.
