Fig. 5. Global distribution of the number of rodent species by category.
a All rodent species (n = 2308), b reservoir rodents (n = 282), c ratio between the number of reservoir and total number of rodents, d rodents occurring in artificial habitats (n = 186), e synanthropic rodents (n = 155), f rodents exhibiting pronounced population fluctuations (s-index >0.3, Methods; n = 159), g hunted rodents (n = 83). Warmer colours highlight areas of high species richness. See Methods for image licensing.
