Association of host and microbial species diversity across spatial scales in desert rodent communities.

2C ) Determinants of bacterial community diversity at the regional scale and its relation to potential disease risk a) In host populations At the regional scale, diversity of bacteria in host populations did not increase, and even showed a decreasing trend, with increased host diversity ( Fig. 2D ). b) In host communities As predicted, at the regional scale diversity of bacteria in host communities increased with host diversity ( Fig. 2E ).
