a Virus abundance (top) and the number of identified viruses with genome sequences (bottom). b The viral α-diversity of H. longicornis, H. concinna, and D. silvarum was assessed. Shannon index was calculated, multiple comparisons were performed by bilateral Kruskal-Wallis test, and P-values were adjusted by Bonferroni method. c Beta diversity analysis of virome compositions across H. longicornis, H. concinna, and D. silvarum using t-SNE.
