The B. tabaci s.l. populations used here and the names associated with them historically. The union symbol “ ∪ ” is used to group populations together, under an integrative approach derived biological-species naming system. This integrative approach identified three biological species (1, 2 and 4) from the five African B. tabaci s.l. genomes presented here. The three other biological species used here are B. tabaci Asia II-5, Bemisia argentifolii and B. tabaci sensu stricto. See also Fig. 5
