Sampling locations, species distribution, and viral diversity in small wild mammals from Hubei Province, China. a Map of Hubei Province showing the sampling locations and species distribution of small wild mammals, including both rodents and shrews, collected in 2021. b Comparative analysis of viral genomic composition in wild mammals from Hubei Province, using both reads-mapping and de novo assembly methods. c Comparison of viral detection at the family level based on reads-mapping versus de novo assembly methods. d Temporal comparison of viral diversity at the family level across three different time periods in wild mammals. e Summary of the viral spectrum at the family level in wild mammals from Hubei Province. From left to right, the panel includes: (i) viral abundance (log2-transformed count values) across different phyla and families, and sampled regions; (ii) viral abundance (log2-transformed count values) in shrews and rodents; (iii) the number of viral species within each family; and (iv) detection status of viruses across three different years
