Datasets were not grouped even if they infect the same host or w from the same study. They were analyzed individually and restricted to one framework: evolution of virulence life history theory (LHT), and generalism–specialism dichotomy (G/S) (see “Methods” section). We note that the “Host does not provide any specific detail on species or subtaxa.” The hosts used in each study may or may be commonly associated with that virus in nature. We urge interested readers to consult individual those particulars.
