Fig. 1: Geographic distribution, abundance, and taxonomy of viruses identified in globally distributed hydrothermal vents.
From: Endemism shapes viral ecology and evolution in globally distributed hydrothermal vent ecosystems
A A world map showing the number of viruses identified from different hydrothermal vents. Circles represent metagenomic samples reconstructed from hydrothermal plumes, triangles are metagenomic samples reconstructed from hydrothermal vent deposits, and squares are diffuse flow. The numbers next to the shapes represent the number of samples for that vent field (52 total). Virus icons show the number of viruses identified at a vent site (49,962 total). Colors represent the seven distinct hydrothermal vent fields that are shown in the legend. The depth range of samples is shown to the right of the boxes and labeled with an elongated triangle. This figure was modified using BioRender.com (B). A bubble plot of log-transformed virus relative abundance, summed by viral class. Circles represent the log relative abundance, where larger relative abundance is represented by larger, teal circles, and smaller relative abundance is represented by smaller, dark blue circles. Virus class names are shown on the top x-axis, and the horizontal names above them show virus realms (determined using geNomad). Site names are shown on the left y-axis and the vertical names to the left of them show sample type.
