Descripción
Ecosystem biodiversity provides fundamental services for human welfare. It has been proposed that one of such services is the ability to reduce virus infection risk. According to this theory, the reduction in the number of species present in an ecosystem would increase the density of those that are virus hosts, resulting in higher virus prevalence. Experimental analyses have supported this prediction as often as not. This has led to hypothesize that other factors, such as the ecosystem composition (identity and relative abundance of species), may also determine virus infection risk. However, this hypothesis has been seldom analyzed, mainly due to the lack of well-characterized wild ecosystems. To address this subject, we characterized the number, identity, and relative abundance of plant species in five locations of evergreen oak forests and five of riparian forests of the Iberian Peninsula;
