Sequences were assembled using Lasergene v15 (DNASTAR, Inc., Madison, WI, USA), and combined with sequences obtained from Genebank (Supplementary Materials Table S1). For the Beauveria strains, we used a backbone tree from Imoulan et al. [48 (link)], and for the wider Cordycypitaceae phylogeny we used a backbone tree from Zhou et al. [49 (link)] with sequences of Paecilomyces hepiali Q.T. Chen and R.Q. Dai ex R.Q. Dai et al. (Cordycipitaceae, Hypocreales) added. Multiple sequence alignments were conducted using MAFFT v7.271 [50 (link)] and trimmed with trimAI 1.2rev59 [51 (link)] or, for protein coding sequences, Gblocks 0.91b [52 (link)]. The trimmed alignments were partitioned according to molecular markers, and, in case of protein-coding loci, the codon position was also partitioned. Maximum likelihood trees were generated with RAxML-NG v. 0.8.0 [53 (link)].
