FIGURE 3.

Temporal patterns of vertebrate‐associated and bacteriophage virus genera in Wytham rodents. (a) Vertebrate‐associated virus genera. (b) Bacteriophage virus genera. Each box within a set of five corresponds to a distinct sampling interval (AF was only sampled at three intervals). White boxes indicate tested time points without the virus genus but that the genus was present in that host species at other time points. Shaded boxes indicate the presence and are coloured by virus family—Solid‐filled boxes indicate at least 20 reads (high abundance), while light‐shaded boxes indicate fewer than 20 reads (low abundance). AS = wood mouse, AF = yellow‐neck mouse, MG = bank vole.
