Fig. 5: Contrasting ERV landscapes across finches and islands.
From: Spatiotemporal variations in retrovirus-host interactions among Darwin’s finches
Relative abundance of the 10 most frequent ERVs showed variation between island populations of the same species. Modified MIR normalized ERV abundance values both vertically across ERVs and horizontally across islands. A contrasting color between island populations for a given ERV indicates a difference in relative abundance between populations, either higher (lighter color), or lower (darker color). Variation in MIR increased with small sample size (e.g., G. scandens from Daphne island), however some contrasts are more likely to represent large actual differences in ERV abundance between island populations (e.g., cPa260 in G. magnirostris).
