Table 3.

A subset of the GLS rankings for rodents and bats together considering species traits. (The response variable is the number of zoonotic viruses identified in a species. λ shows the strength of the phylogenetic correction. See electronic supplementary material, table S6 for full set of models tested. Asterisks (*) indicate the two variables and their interaction and ‘cit’. indicates logged citations.)
