*The pairwise comparison between intraclade variation and the pairwise differentiation suggests divergence between the India clade and the North America clade of B. dermatitidis. The nonsignificant value between India and B. parvus is an artifact of the paraphyletic nature of B. parvus, which has an extremely high π value (Figure). DXY, extent of divergence between clades
