 A timeline of reports about Colletotrichum species pathogenic to strawberry. Years for reports (in brackets) and original sampling (if available) were indicated, and abbreviations of geographic locations (if specific) were shown for pathogen origins. Relevant findings of mycologists (unshaded) and strawberry pathologists (shaded) were sequentially marked on the central time axis not to scale. Early reports not distinguished at the species level were indicated in gray boxes. A total of 23 Colletotrichum species currently accepted were illustrated in distinct colors, which include orange for nine species of C. gloeosporioides s.l., light blue for seven of C. acutatum s.l., yellow for two of C. dematium s.l., light green for two of C. boninense s.l., and dark green for one of C. truncatum s.l., respectively, as well as two singletons C. nigrum and C. coccodes. s.l. and s.s indicate sensu lato (complex) and sensu stricto, respectively
