Viral metacommunities associated to bats and rodents at different spatial scales 2018-12-30 .txt text/plain 4029 200 39 We tested the hypothesis that distributions of virus species and viral families from rodents and bats are defined by shared responses to host phylogeny and host functional characteristics, shaping the viral metacommunity structures at four spatial scales (Continental, Biogeographical, Zoogeographical, and Regional). Metacommunity theory implemented in viral communities at different spatial scales in combination with a redundancy analysis allows identifying the factors that facilitate virus distribution among hosts (Mihaljevic 2012 , Dallas and Presley 2014 , Suzán et al. To measure the influence of the host phylogeny and functional characteristics of the host on viral community structure we hypothesized that both the expression of Clementsian structures based on the Niche Theory would prevail at different macroecological scales, and the host phylogeny will explain the viral metacommunity distribution as response of the shared host evolutionary histories and ecological relationships. ./cache/cord-330590-nu8ckeud.txt ./txt/cord-330590-nu8ckeud.txt
